up on GitHub is adding a WebAssembly backend to the Ur/Web

enough for someone starting with that expertise.<br>

The only semester-sized idea I have at the moment is to learn
about <a href="http://upo.csail.mit.edu/" target="_blank">UPO</a> and implement a new
module or two. I consider Ur/Web almost done as a research
project, as it is almost fully transitioned into a production
toolset.<br>
