Keeping Figma Fast: perf-testing the WASM editor
https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/08/compose-multiplatf...
They don't really mention Wasm there as this mostly focuses on the IOS support. They had a lot of presentations about that at kotlin conf and the compose web channel in the kotlin slack is very active.
Basically, anyone currently doing mobile development that is used to modern UI frameworks for that, will soon be able to target browsers effortlessly without compromising on their UI frameworks. Compose is one of the frameworks. But there are others. I've seen some nice kotlin-js frameworks targeting canvas and vector graphics. Doodle is a nice example: https://nacular.github.io/doodle/. I have not used that yet but it looks quite slick. A lot of kotlin-js stuff will transition to wasm once the compiler stabilizes.
Web developers seem to be mostly unable to see beyond their comfort zone of DOM/CSS/JS. There are alternative ways of doing UI/UX that are common outside of browsers. Applying that in a browser is transitioning from impossible (a few years ago) to being hard but very feasible (the last few years) to being easy, very common, and widely supported across different developer ecosystems (the next few years). Not a matter of if but when.

For the JVM there is a framework which allows you to fully drive the frontend from the backend by sending fragments of HTML to partially update the view. It's based on the open web components (using Lit), so easy to extend a. One of the developer has also implemented a version in Kotlin UI DSL
