As long as you have compiler plugin and runtime working on these platforms, it can be I experimented with something like this recently in non-android jvm and managed to get it working

Whooooooaaaaaaa . . . . . . . !! This opens a lot of doors

@shikasd you've been working on jetpack compose for WebUI with server side rendering. How much work do you think it would take to have it working with kotlin/js?

I'd wait for release of WeakRefs on js and kotlin 1.4, where k/js will have IR backend, then it should be easier 🙂

@shikasd what is it you need weak references for?

@Leland Richardson [G] Last time I have checked, compose used them in ObserverMap I was also thinking to replace it with WeakMap, feels kinda same mostly I was looking for IR generation for JS, and in 1.4-m2 it is still quite in progress 🙂

ahhh, observermap

Yes. Much of

ObserverMap

is trying to work around Java allowing custom

equals

implementation and not having ephemerals so a

WeakMap

is the right

actual

for JS.

That's for confirming 🙂 Btw, do you have a timeline for merging compiler upstream?

Depends what you mean by this. If you mean making the compose compiler plugin part of kotlin proper, there are no plans for that currently.

I meant current master, but thanks for this extensive reply :)
