# webassembly

[Carlos Ballesteros Velasco]

hey folks 👋 is there already any effort to create:
• a emscripten generated .wasm module + webidl
◦ generate a common kotlin code either expect/actual or kotlin code from the AST
◦ generate either a JAR (wasm IR -> jvm bytecode) or load the wasm at runtime and use the expect interface to access the code
◦ generate K/JS code that loads the webassembly module and calls the methods as required
◦ generate K/N code that for example uses wasm2c to generate an amalgamation C that can be used in .def in K/N so it compiles to all the K/N targets

there’s this repo, which doesn’t use the approach you describe but follows a similar vein https://github.com/whyoleg/ffi-kotlin

that could be an starting option, I'll try. I would definitely prefer not to have to provide binaries JVM/Android binaries for all the arm, mips, x64, etc. to it would work on any machine. But first let's see how it works.

I used to remember there was something to convert wasm into jvm bytecode somewhere. Maybe it could be possible to also join that effort

and I tried wasm2c and seemed to work, so might be possible to be usable on a K/N .def file in an automated way

Just remembered that I started this 5 years ago: https://github.com/korlibs/wasm2kt
I will also investigate the status of that

Thats the other one that I remembered, thanks! Maybe it can be used as base too
