Widget rendering framework built on top of Aquameta

# Transport layer goals

The experimental transport layer [monorepo](https://github.com/micburks/aquameta) attempts to rethink this layer.

- modularize the `datum` API
  - use functional components (curry, compose, etc.)
  - separate queries from how/where they run
  - reuse components of a query
- isomorphic javascript
  - any logic, especially encoding/decoding request, in a single place/codebase
  - runs in node or the browser
  - run queries on database connections or over http
- avoid creating a new framework with `widget`
  - provide primitives necessary to build abstract UI
  - support using external code/packages from js ecosystem
- follow and allow evolving web standards
  - separate from opinionated frameworks/technologies
  - support es module import/export syntax and standardized module loading
  - avoid bundlers/transpilers, instead rely on browser features/web standards
- generic way of referencing tables that contain code
