My question is: what problems Shark solves?

Do we need Python in the front-end? Why?

Shark doesnt solves any problem you could not solve with other languages, its just better at handling a whole wide range of problems others cant solve. Have you dreamed making the frontend and backend of your site in the same language, or building the same game in PC, Mobile and Nintendo 3DS from the same codebase and just a few commands? I do, and shark is my attempt at doing it.

Sorry, you might think that I am rude, but I am not.

I quite applaud your determination and your good will to work so hard and release an usable programming language. I didn't do that.

I was just wondering if a Python like language is a good fit for front-end programming.

I never dreamed about using one tool for everything but it happened. Nowadays I use C#/.NET for almost everything.

Python for front ends? Sure, it's very neat. See PyTk, PyQt, etc.

But you got the answer for your original question, right?
