Hey Gang! I was wondering if the Kotlin for Javascript is in stable The multiplatform is listed as alpha . Also, when building the application can I compile/transpile JVM and Javascript? Or is this project solely for writing in Kotlin and outputting JS, not both jvm/js?

That’s cool. Are you on the space team?

[Jonathan Sandusky]

I’m hesitant to use something that’s in alpha in my project, but I really want to.

kotlin-css is multiplatform and used in different projects

[turansky]

Coroutines - multiplatform
Serialization - multiplatform

We are doomed! 🙂

That’s pretty cool. Even if I don’t use multiplatform in this project I might explore it for a poc. It looks so rad.

[Jonathan Sandusky]

That was a slick video.

Kotlin/JS per-se is not in Alpha, is it?

Having used it for a while, I would simply say that you are very likely to come across issues with JS. Not so much with the compiler any more, but most certainly in the IDE and if you’re using webpack and other tools like that.

Thank you @steamstreet. My use case, currently would be to reduce duplicate business logic. Currently it’s to reduce duplicate calculations from front end and backend, but I might want to extend it to api/http calls. So I guess I’m more wondering about multiplatform and I don’t know how much the multiplatform and Kotlin/JS overlap if at all.
