# webassembly

[Robert]

@bashor I saw your announcement (https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/state-of-webassembly-in-kotlin/18348); how are things coming along since then?
Or if @udalov @Svyatoslav Kuzmich [JB] can better answer it, or someone else, also okay. Don’t know how to ask actually :-)

There's this issue with some more up-to-date information.

Hi Robert. We, at Kotlin team, are working on a Kotlin-to-Wasm compiler. Wasm GC spec is being discussed by a dedicated community group. Browser devs are working on a Wasm GC prototype. Binaryen devs are currently working on code optimisation for Wasm GC. I hope this will turn into something awesome once everything clicks together, but I wouldn’t expect it to be ready soon.

Hey guys!
Thanks for the info @Svyatoslav Kuzmich [JB]!
When you say wouldn’t expect it to ready soon, are you talking about months or years?

As I mentioned, there are multiple parties involved and it is hard to provide ETAs. In the meantime I would recommend giving Kotlin/JS a try, which serves similar role and is already ready to be used.
