JetBrains Web UI components open-sourced
JetBrains is kinda crushing it. I&#x27;ve spent the last two days looking into Kotlin. I didn&#x27;t realize not only that Kotlin can compile to JS but also that you can interact with say React from it. So you can build a full stack app in it, without ever touching JS. (I think that the JS compilation is still technically in beta but w&#x2F;e).<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Kotlin&#x2F;kotlin-fullstack-sample" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Kotlin&#x2F;kotlin-fullstack-sample</a><p>Combined with the fact that you can use Quasar for Erlang style processes, I think that I found my next web language.<p>I guess you could achieve this with Scala too but I could never get over the compilation times. Also the Kotlin integration seems somewhat more straightforward.<p>I also like that the company that makes my IDE also makes the ORM (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;JetBrains&#x2F;Exposed" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;JetBrains&#x2F;Exposed</a>) and web framework (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Kotlin&#x2F;ktor" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Kotlin&#x2F;ktor</a>). Idk how good these are but I imagine pretty decent.
