This sounds great — thank you!

I personally would already be happy if I could start by replacing my
small biwascheme utility by guile-based webassembly:

https://www.draketo.de/software/matrikellanguage.scm

Currently used via 

<script src="biwascheme.js">
  (load "matrikellanguage.scm")
  (let loop ()
      (wait-for "#matrikelnummer" "input")
      (set-content! "#result" (matrikel->pair (get-content "#matrikelnummer")))
      (console-log "ok.")
      (loop))
</script>

on https://www.draketo.de/software/vorlesung-netztechnik#nummer-zu-sprache


Doing this in biwascheme looks good for this small utility, but when I
tried to do anything bigger, I found that biwascheme does not provide
the namespacing of Scheme, so I broke variables. It looks like scheme
and is pretty nice to use, but it is not really Scheme.


Best wishes,
Arne
