Kotlin goes WebAssembly!
Visit https://kotl.in/wasm to get started yourself!
Kotlin 1.8.20 introduces the newest multiplatform compilation target for Kotlin – WebAssembly! This opens up new possibilities for Kotlin developers, ranging from writing web apps, to blazing fast server-side development with Node.js and standalone WebAssembly runtimes, and even bringing your Compose Multiplatform apps to the browser! Together with Sebastian Aigner (https://twitter.com/sebi_io), explore the examples, get an overview of WebAssembly as a technology, and learn the current state and future plans of Kotlin for WebAssembly. While it’s still early for Kotlin/Wasm, it’s the perfect time to take a look, do some experiments and build some toy projects. This video features a number of examples from the ecosystem.
We can’t wait to see what you’ll build with this first version of Kotlin/Wasm!
