I'm slightly disappointed by the target end date : 31 July 2019. WebAssembly seems like a huge deal to me and I was hoping things would progress quicker than that :(

I poorly chose my examples. There is a finite number of rules so for each step there is a finite number of possibilities. For integers for instance, the rule is in their definition, and there is only one. 2 is 1+1, 5 is 4+1 and so on. &gt

True, it is not finite. Still, considering the algorithm will not attempt to search the tree exhaustively anyway, maybe the fact that the tree is infinite does not make much difference. PS. On second thought the number of rules is finite,

Clang targets webassembly, doesn't it? If so, does that mean it will soon be possible to browse the web with chromium running inside other browsers? That'd be fun.

I don't see how this could lead to extinction. The drop in sperm count is only a statistical observation. There are, and will likely always be men with good sperm count, just as there are still human groups with high fertility rates.
