It's in alpha, but there is a Kotlin to wasm compiler in the works.

Does WASM do DOM manipulation nowadays?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't look like it, unfortunately. But it's planned. Kotlin can also compile to JavaScript with DOM manipulation. I've not tried either scenario, myself.

Kotlin -> JavaScript would work. I assume there must be a Python version of that as well.

I can't wait for the day I can use something like Kotlin to write Frontend code. Maybe there'll be something like vue or react build on it

You could use Java ages ago and it was, very rightly so, abandoned.

Even worse, I’m old enough to have used GWT at some point.

Well, you never try to.
