its really very unexpected that assert is not supported in kotlin/js. is there any way to bump this ticket? https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-24471/Implement-assert-in-Kotlin-JS

[ephemient]

I don't see any use for assert. it does weird -ea stuff on JVM and better alternatives like check, require, assertTrue, etc. are standard

[christophsturm]

The main use is in unit tests via (kotlin-) power assert

[christophsturm]

Like mentioned in the ticket

[christophsturm]

And it reads better than the alternatives that you mentioned
