Is it possible that someday (soonish) a multiplatform library that targets wasm could be used by a JS client app? With TypeScript definitions generated?
I realize we can get this today by targeting JS, but I haven’t had the best experiences with the JS output of KMP so far (large bundle sizes, data types such as List need workarounds being the 2 I can think of off hand).

I think this could be a great way to distribute a shared lib written in Kotlin to JS/TS apps and who knows where else with wasm gaining more features and support outside of the browser as well.
