I'm wondering that same thing. It looks like it's not actively developed at the moment, and yet this is the most official thing we can get for now :'(

Agree. I think the whole JS Kotlin tooling is barely maintained. I'm in the process of replacing this plugin with a hand written toolchain. I use the com.moowork.node plugin to interact with node.

Some data point from my side: the immaturity of Kotlin JS and this plugin were key when deciding whether to use Kotlin in my new web project. I decided to go with TypeScript because I don't have resources to maintain a custom build toolchain, like @nimloth05 proposed. BTW, @nimloth05, do you plan to share your toolchain? Maybe it will be a good alternative to this plugin.

@krzema12 I've created an example workspace with various ways to build a kotlin2js app: https://github.com/nimloth05/kotlin2js-examples ATM the custom tooling karma tests are not working

Thanks!

Someone should update the description of this repo about deprecation.
