Nothing special for Kotlin/JS but everything related to language is works for Kotlin/JS too, like: release coroutines, contracts, parameterless main, MPP and so on.

You can find more info here

Amazing thing related to Kotlin/JS is Incremental Compilation that speed up compilation up to 7 times. Please try it and give as feedback.

It is available in 1.3 and even in 1.2.70, for more information take a look https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2018/09/kotlin-1-2-70-is-out/

Sounds great! Is there a way to enable incremental compilation for create-react-kotlin-app projects?

[bashor]

@dawitt yes, this should work:

In a project built with IntelliJ IDEA, go to Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler | Kotlin Compiler | Kotlin to JavaScript and check Enable incremental compilation (experimental).

Awesome, I'm creating a new project now so I'll check that out
