Jupp, through GWT (please kill me)

[sreich]

I believe that's like the one feature GWT has, actually

[haxpor]

Will kotlin work the same as Java->GWT in the future?

[sreich]

Sort of it already does? Kotlin compiles to js but it requires everything else to be kotlin. And libgdx unfortunately is not

[sreich]

There are supposedly other alternatives like teavm and some other ones I think I favorited

[haxpor]

Just saw message. What's the issue that kotlin cannot be converted into gwt thus allow us to have html5 build the same as java->get?

[haxpor]

I'm still in doubt in using teavm. Is that working fine without issue for you? @sreich

[sreich]

The issue is that gwt transpiles Java source code I believe

[sreich]

Kotlin is not Java so..

[sreich]

I haven't tried any of those, I try to avoid the web as much as possible because it's such a mess

[sreich]

But there are other technologies I've seen that I've starred on GitHub

[haxpor]

Thank you for detail! I do hope gwt at least make it ok for kotlin in future. Having web build is also good for kotlin, I don't want to port it via different tech.

[sreich]

It won't

[sreich]

Gwt isn't even maintained I don't think

[sreich]

It's not even the way forward, even for Java

[sreich]

And there are other technologies that sound promising and work for any jvm language
