Hi ! Is it possible to set ES12 as compilation target ?

[Big Chungus]

No. Not even ES6 is possible

[Ayfri]

Oh, why it is like that ? Can't we even modify the Webpack configuration ?

[Big Chungus]

Don't think so. ES6 support is one of the most awaited features of kotlin by now. It would solve so many pressure points for the browser target.

[Ayfri]

And what is the state of that ?

[Big Chungus]

The compilation pipeline is as follows:
1. korlinJsCompile: direct kotlin to js transpilation
2. browserWebpack: webpack execution with all external npm dependencies and your kotlinjsCompile js output files

[Ayfri]

Is there an issue to add ES6 target ?

[Big Chungus]

Yes, it's even on the roadmap, just postponed
