With the release of Parcel 2.0 (https://parceljs.org), I am wondering if there are any considerations to support Parcel for Kotlin/JS. Parcel seems to be very powerful and IMO is a fresh start in the area of web bundlers.

Hi @Harald Pehl! I assume that you speak about Parcel support similar to Webpack one that Kotlin has in Gradle. Regardless of that there is quite simple support of Kotlin in Parcel via https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/2177
And there is also open request to more complex one: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/3356 . I wonder could they be useful in your use cases? Could you share them (maybe in PM)?

Thanks @max.kammerer for the pointers. That looks quite promising. I had a deeper integration of Parcel with Gradle in mind, though. A replacement of Webpack by Parcel so to speak. I like the Gradle first approach, it makes sense for Kotlin/JS development and I think it should stay that way.

I don’t expect a solution with Parcel any time soon. I was just wondering if there’s someone working on it atm.
