# scripting

The release 1.2.50 with new experimental scripting support is out, and the KEEP (https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/scripting/proposals/scripting-support.md) is updated too, reflecting now the approach taken and the implementation state.
Any feedback will be highly appreciated.

In addition to the things mentioned in the KEEP, I have an example spek fork with scripting support. I plan to discuss it with spek people, so maybe it will land in the oficial repo at some point, but for a moment it may serve as an additional example. See: https://github.com/ligee/spek/tree/spekscript

nice! i wasn't sure if those changes were included because i didn't see anything in https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/v1.2.50/ChangeLog.mdor

@ilya.chernikov can't see it in the KEEP, but does (will) it support JS and Native?

Looks like for now only JVM stuff is implemented, look under implementation status.

And there are plans for other platforms as listed here: https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/scripting/proposals/scripting-support.md#components

Yes, it is mentioned in the KEEP that the current implementation is JVM-only, but future implementations for other platforms are planned. The timeline is not known at the moment though.
