is there a way to use kotlin-js without webpack? It seems that whenever I go near a build file featuring kotlin-js, anything webpack related becomes a blackhole of time and "maybe this will" work style trying to beat some sense into. My latest frustration: webpack randomly decides to serve up a js file as html and the browser tells me to F*** off.

It strikes me that the whole point of kotlin-js is no javascript and then webpack sucks you back right into that disfunctional ecosystem with endless layers of crap

I'm working on https://gitlab.com/opensavvy/automation/kotlin-vite, I'm currently searching for beta testers to help me stabilize it 🙂

Please try it out and report any issues you find! It works pretty well for standard projects, but it's always the same thing with the JS ecosystem, there are so many ways to break everything 😕
