I'm truly surprised at the apparent silence on this front; since the push towards WebAssembly (read: away from JavaScript) is one of the most exciting frontiers in mainstream technology at the moment - and with a lot of reward up for grabs.
I would not be at all surprised if JetBrains have a dedicated WebAssembly IDE (perhaps as a major iteration of WebStorm) quietly in the works.

07/15/2019, 11:01 PMHas been very disappointing with the way WASM support is progressing. Hopefully some major WASM announcements will come out of this year's Kotlin Conf 🙏 . What is Kotlin's angle/vision with WASM ❓ What will Kotlin bring to the table that is missing, or lacking with other languages when it comes to WASM support ❓

07/15/2019, 11:06 PMThere is a opportunity for Kotlin to provide solid two way WASM interop, which is reasonably type safe and bridges the JS side (to tap into a large ecosystem). Is the Kotlin team ready to take on the challenge?
