@sdeleuze @bashor this talk seems very interesting: https://wasmio.tech/sessions/introducing-kotlin-wasm/ I must hope you will give it at KotlinConf in Amsterdam too!

it compiles to Wasm directly without any additional layers
Wow, it doesn't even use Kotlin IR during compilation? 😐

It does. Additional layers here means llvm toolchain old wasm32 used.

I don't think this talk will be part of KotlinConf but I will talk about Kotlin/Wasm in mine, but with a server-side angle. https://kotlinconf.com/speakers/ce11156d-9a41-4f12-b236-3bdac0ee3a2a.

@sdeleuze I haven't really researched about Kotlin/Wasm for server-side binary compilation. Is it expected to be a more efficient format than Kotlin/Native?

a more efficient format than Kotlin/Native?
... or JVM bytecode (using the language interoperability support of GraalVM when needed)?

In general, Wasm is slightly less efficient than native code. But because it is portable and sandboxed it can be, in some ways, more efficient than native + VM/container
