is there any way to track the progress of the K2 compiler integration in intellij?

[Teodor Irkhin]

Hello! Can you please elaborate on what you mean by “track the progress of the K2 compiler integration in IntelliJ”? K2 compiler is supported in IntelliJ IDEA

[Bernhard]

no support for JS projects yet

[Bernhard]

I think it's marked to still be in alpha state

[Bernhard]

so just a milestone in the issue tracker that marks the road to beta or stable would be enough for me 🙂

[Bernhard]

I've been taking a look at JS integration for years now and it looks somewhat usable with @JsPlainObject

[Teodor Irkhin]

Thank you for the clarification, that means we are talking about K2 mode.
JS projects are planned to get support in Beta, which will be in the upcoming 2024.2 release.

[Bernhard]

oh, that's lovely to hear

[Bernhard]

do you by any chance also know where WASM/JS is headed in general?

[Bernhard]

it seems that WASM has become a bigger focus, but from what I've heard JS interop is plagued by copying data such as strings

[Bernhard]

is JS going to get de-emphasized in favor of WASM?

[Bernhard]

(once string refs/gc proposals go stable)

[Teodor Irkhin]

We are currently improving the WASM experience, helping it get from the Alpha stage. We don’t have the final plan for JS development at the moment.

[Bernhard]

thank you!
