Do you know whether Jet Pack Compose for Web is Internet Explorer compatible? When I try our app I get syntax error on line 19:

[Tomáš Hubálek]

I'm not JS expert so I don't know what it means.

[Tomáš Hubálek]

Is the solution somehow change target JS version for Kotlin compiler?

[Akif Abasov [JB]]

It isn’t compatible, not only because of JS target. It may need some polyfills.

[Akif Abasov [JB]]

@[JB] Shagen, can you take a look on JS target, why webpack uses ES6 while Kotlin/JS can’t use ES6 yet?

[[JB] Shagen]

We don't support IE and even if we'll figure out what's going on with webpack (which looks like a misconfiguration on a kotlin tooling level rather than in compose) there still won't be any guarantees on a API compatibility level. Microsoft itself is dropping support for IE and we just don't have reasons strong enough to test against it

[Akif Abasov [JB]]

Still someone can try to use polyfills to run it on IE without our support.

"Microsoft itself is dropping support for IE"

👀 Gotta go read up on that. I guess they have a new browser?

[Akif Abasov [JB]]

They have EDGE

Yeah, I'm pretty sure EDGE was released back in 2015 🤣

[jim]

so I'm not sure if it can be described as a "new" browser anymore 🤣. But yes, IE is being replaced and will be past end of life by the time Compose for Web goes stable.
