Soo, after a lot of digging into the compiler I’ve found a way to make code splitting work in a proof of concept 🎉
The -Xir-per-module compiler flag was pretty helpful here. I wonder how stable it is?

Tomorrow I’ll try to incorporate the approach into my Kotlin React app and see if it works there as expected too :)
Update: Works like a charm in my Kotlin React project 🙂

Is there a way to implement this code splitting in Kotlin multiplatform project? it seems that I can't add modules under jsMain in a trivial way.

@Yardenavirav I’m not sure what you mean. It shouldn’t matter if it’s a multiplatform project or not.
My web project depends on multiplatform subprojects for example.

What do you mean by “can’t add modules under jsMain in a trivial way”?
