I got a WebAssembly build of this working and fired up a web playground for trying it out: https://simonw.github.io/research/monty-wasm-pyodide/demo.ht...

It doesn't have class support yet!

But it doesn't matter, because LLMs that try to use a class will get an error message and rewrite their code to not use classes instead.

Notes on how I got the WASM build working here: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/6/pydantic-monty/

This is very cool, but I'm having some trouble understanding the use cases.

Is this mostly just for codemode where the MCP calls instead go through a Monty function call? Is it to do some quick maths or pre/post-processing to answer queries? Or maybe to implement CaMeL?

It feels like the power of terminal agents is partly because they can access the network/filesystem, and so sandboxed containers are a natural extension?
