100% Kotlin Frontend

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Claims that a full React frontend can be written 100% in Kotlin using concrete tools: a React wrapper and CSS DSL—kotlin-react, kotlin-css, kotlin-styled—plus JavaScript interop and conversion of TypeScript defs. Bootstrapping uses create‑react‑kotlin‑app and a few npm packages to enable CSS. JetBrains reports dozens of Kotlin projects and a large web app implemented end‑to‑end in Kotlin, running and updated against new language releases.
