    If I was pitching more at graduate level I'd say write the container format only and call the htscodecs reference implementations for the compression (just the custom codecs, the regular ones GZIP, LZMA and BZ2 algorithms will already have implementations in most languages). That would probably be a masters thesis (6 months) level project with proper supervision.
