A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Three weeks ago, I added a link for the Fluense site: <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C04RTD72RQ8/p1704742304053339>

At the time, the landing page was done but the app was still WIP.

They just launched it, at <https://app.fluen.se>

Normally I would hesitate to do a second showcase link so quickly after the first one, but the user got localization working! That's definitely the first time I've seen a working language picker on a Kobweb site.

I'm still not clear how they did it, or if it was super hacky within the current constraints of the Kobweb framework. I'll try to find out more; if there are others in here who are interested in l10n, let me know!

Also, the user also experimented with a WASM, and shared these interesting numbers after migrating to Kobweb:

kobweb: 2.2MB
canvas: 4.6MB + 8.9MB skiko

Maybe there's still a lot of room for WASM to come down as it's being actively worked on, but that was certainly a surprise. Probably worth people keeping an eye on!

Was the canvas measurement with Kotlin/JS or Kotlin/WASM?
