This is really brilliant!

But it looks like it's sending a POST request to a server, at /reception which takes the custom <script> node contents and handles the compilation + returns compiled JS via Gradle

Is it expensive/slow to keep the serverside Gradle builder running?

[Gavin Ray]

Maybe instead, it is possible to compile kotlinc, the Kotlin Compiler itself, into JS. Or WASM, via Kotlin Native?
And then the transpilation from Kotlin -> JS could happen clientside
