Essentially the same html/css rendering of Firefox or Chromium, still able to access the www, but with javascript fully removed for another language that can be interpreted - like python or lua. Is this feasible?

there were plans for multiple scripting languages for the web, hence the
type="javascript"attribute on the<script>tag. the thing that became javascript was originally more like a lisp, but netscape wanted to cash in on the popularity of java applets so they made the language look more java-y.the bones are there, there’s just no sense in implementing it in mainstream browsers now.
Microsoft had a Visual Basic variant (VBScript) in IE that got some attention back in the 90s; it’s probably just as well that JS won instead of that…
In modern webdev
type="module"is used to indicate an ES6 module andtype="importmap"to include a JSON table of paths to modules. Still basically JS, but the parameter is still used in a meaningful way.
