Greg, the 'vision' would be to be able to not only create J code that runs in the browser, but one that has full DOM, Canvas, WebGL capability etc. For the web assembly version I don't think that the current set of "!" features need all be present especially if the JS interface was fluid enough and powerful enough.
I am def. going to start looking into this as a retirement project. I should be so lucky...
