What is the difference between emscripten-forge and pyodide?

Pyodide is a full python distribution for emscripten-wasm32 running in the browser. Therefore all packages are either python packages or shared libraries needed by python packages. Emscripten-forge on the other hand is a conda channel providing packages for the emscripten-wasm32 platform. This means there is a great overlap in the provided python packages, but emscripten-forge also provided non-python packages for the emscripten-wasm32 platform. Furthermore pyodide lives in the pip ecosystem, while emscripten-forge lives in the conda/mamba/rattler ecosystem.
