Is there any guidance on creating a multi-platform Kotlin library (JVM and JS) so that Javascript developers can easily interface with it while programming in pure Javascript? I noticed that KotlinJS generates a lot of ugly Suffixes on functions like create_puj7f4$ even though there is only one create function and since @JsName is not available in a platform-common project, I am not sure what I can do to prevent that.

The workaround is to use expect/actual typealias annotations, e.g. declare an expect typealias for MyJsName in your common project and then in your js project write actual typealias MyJsName = kotlin.js.JsName

I'll try that. Thanks!

Does JS have namespaces? If it does then it would make Kotlin JS interop a bit easier.

JS does not have namespaces afaik
