I think the big milestone for me is going to be when LLVM has first-class support for a wasm backend. I get that you can already get similar behavior using emscripten through asm.js to wasm, but it still feels clunky.

Even still, it's great to see that things are still moving on smoothly (and the new logo looks really nice!).

That's in the works. Here is a patch that provides some of the foundation for getting first-class support for WASM: https://reviews.llvm.org/D26722

Interestingly enough, the "clunky" Emscripten compilation path is quite a bit faster than the WASM backed ATM because it bypasses all the cruft in the LLVM backend which can be pretty slow.

The logo isn't as nice as the most voted one. But I get the philosophy behind it though, probably the biggest reason it was chosen. But my heart still remains with the other logo. It looks so modern and can go with different color palettes.
