My thought is that he felt you needed a challenge, and not because you were his most competent  student.

Clearly, it was a challenge for you, given the problems with it you’ve told us about.

I am quite sure most 3rd-year computer engineering students wouldn't even know how to begin making an assembler runnable in a browser, for the simple reason that they don't know anything about compiler theory. They don't know what "tokenizer" or "parser" even are, much less how to make one. Not to mention they have zero experience with JavaScript.
