Always wondered: how feasible would it be to have something similar to play.kotlinlang.org that supported basic Kotlin dependencies (basically an online version of Kotlin scratches that includes dependencies)? Would it require too much computing power? Would it boil down to basically being a Gradle VM?

You could run it yourself via https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-playground. It links to https://github.com/AlexanderPrendota/kotlin-compiler-server#how-to-add-your-dependencies-to-kotlin-compiler-books which I guess answers your question. But I was told earlier on the same question, that it might be easier to share some notebooks via datalore (which supports dependencies out of the box). And indeed it works quite well.

Wow, didn’t know this existed. Cool!
