`marimo.mpl.interactive()` does not and will not work in wasm notebooks?

Yea it won't work, it requires the use of threading which isn't supported in WASM.

So in particular, there seems to be no way to make use of matplotlibs animation API. This is one thing I'm missing from marimo, the possibility of making moving pictures.

It's a pity. I guess that's why matplotlib animations work in jupyter-notebooks, but (should) not work in JupyterLite. Well, WASM might receive multi threading one day...

But is multithreading essential to animations? Async should be enough.
