Rhombus Integration Tasks

Add to this list and/or claim tasks here. "Claiming" can mean either that you're thinking about it an interested in discussing or actively work on it. Please claim a task in some way that would allow someone to contact you (such as a Discord username or a link to something with an email address). If you're interested in working on something and there doesn't seem to be active work just now, contact someone in "who".

Implementation Guidelines

Be cautious about dependencies. Instead of importing a Racket library with heavy dependencies to get something relatively easy to implement, it may be better to reimplement it in Rhombus.
