can ktor (server) be compiled to kotlin-js or only the client ? my intended usecase is a fallback integrated server for a boardgame client in js/jfx

only the client, Ktor server for now JVM only

It would be interesting to get one working with the node

http

module sometime soon though 🙂 More of an interop option for Kotlin

but you can use node’s http module with Kotlin

I agree it’s much more than that, which is why ktor could be very nice on more than just the JVM too (assuming there’s a good common implementation available with alternatives or platform-specific features)

I think that main problem that need for full-blown http JS server is not so clear for Ktor team

My point being it CAN be available. But it's not currently possible at all without porting over a decent amount of code. So whether it's driven by K/N or node or whatever, there's an asynchronous http server (Netty) available for node that could easily be implemented as 3rd party library even if the MPP foundation becomes available

netty for node?
