Hey Javier,

I was really pleased to discover wasm-proj last week! I'd actually been
looking for something exactly like that the week before. My use-case is
comparing the results produced by Proj with those produced by our own
internal library. I'm pleased to report that (given a sample of one point
in one CRS :-) they match exactly.

Best regards,
Nick.
