Is Kobweb production-ready? Why?

It depends on what “production ready” means to you 🙂

this section might be relevant to you https://github.com/varabyte/kobweb?tab=readme-ov-file#can-we-kobweb-yet from an api perspective it's not a 1.0 yet and you sometimes do run into bugs. other than that it's fully functional and people have made impressive websites with it. a strength of the js interop is that there always exists a workaround if something is not natively supported by kobweb.
k/js itself isn't as stable as the jvm stuff however. so even there things break sometimes
and from a corp's perspective, kobweb will hardly ever be production ready, compared to typical js frameworks. unless you're heavily invested in kmp. so yeah, if you have more specific questions we might be able to give more detailed answers

Thank you @S., I don't think I could have given a better answer myself. 🙂
@Mario Andhika it's probably a relatively safe time to use Kobweb. We don't foresee too many more deprecations before 1.0 (and recently things we do deprecate are often esoteric features). Hopefully soon we will start focusing 100% of filling remaining API gaps and missing widgets, and then we should be 1.0. (In other words, the framework isn't going to really change at this point -- just the feature set will grow). Of course, it would be worth knowing what other technologies you are considering, and if you have any hard constraints / goals with the site you are planning on building.
