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