Kotlin now also targets WASI for server-side Wasm applications. Combined to Kotlin/Wasm browser support, that’s a powerful combo.

Notice the footprint is very small (3k for an hello world).

And Bytecoder which targets Wasm GC. https://github.com/mirkosertic/Bytecoder

J2CL sadly uses Java sources as the input, not JVM bytecode, which makes it hardly usable for a lot of use cases involving existing libraries.

Transcription of the talk given by Zalim Bashorov and Sébastien Deleuze at Wasm I/O conference to introduce Kotlin/Wasm and the new perspectives introduced by WasmGC for fullstack development.

This new blog post explores the huge potential of Kotlin/Wasm and how WasmGC, WASI, WebAssembly Component Model and warg repositories could change how we develop applications.

Thanks.

I agree with the limitations you mentioned about .Net, but who knows maybe they will switch to a more optimized AOT compilation at some point.

I know TeaVM, but my bet is more on Google side for Java support, the task is too huge for a single person OSS project.

Hopefully JetBrains will be more vocal about Kotlin/Wasm later this year and next year, when it will be more usable with GC support shipped in Chrome stable.

Not ideal I agree, main reason is that I don’t have the bandwith to publish on a regular basis in a blog, so I have never created one.
