04/08/2021, 8:15 AMThe documentation on kotlinlang.org is a great starting-place for this 🙂
See https://kotlinlang.org/docs/using-packages-from-npm.html

04/08/2021, 8:30 AMGood point Rob, didn’t expect JVM related questions in the JS channel 😛
Isn’t Nashorn deprecated already?
I think GraalVM (or if on Android: https://github.com/LiquidPlayer/LiquidCore) is better alternatives.
Not sure though.

04/08/2021, 8:34 AMI know, but sometimes people are able to use GraalVM.
And sometimes people say JVM when they work on Android.

04/08/2021, 8:36 AMI hadn’t realised Nashorn had been killed. They’ve actually removed it in JDK15.

04/08/2021, 11:21 AMYou can use GraalVM JavaScript on a normal JVM, it seems:
