05/13/2022, 4:00 AMAt Google IO in the dev keynote, they briefly mentioned and showed Java running in web assembly? I’m curious if anyone knows anything about that. It also didn’t seem like some weird bytecode to wasm transpile. They gave zero information about it and I can’t find anything from searches online. It’d be really interesting if we could run Kotlin JVM on wasm in the future. Does anyone know anything?
