Compose Web JS is Needed

[bgcl]

A few months ago I proudly wrote my web app in Kotlin using Compose for Web.

It was a beautiful thing. It just worked in normal browsers. I loved showing it off to my developer friends, emphasizing that even the CSS was in Kotlin.

Alas, when this week I returned to further develop the app -- it's all gone :-( Compose for Web no longer seems to compile to JS. It seems to compile to wasm, which means it doesn't work in normal browsers.

Here's the key problem -- while wasm is good, how could anyone get their users to upgrade their browsers or apply a special flag to get wasm to work?

Is there really no way to compile to javascript so it just runs on normal users browsers? I really hope I am mistaken in understanding that even when compose is fully implemented on wasm development, it will still need months to years of upgrades to propagate in user-land, before we can successfully consider using production apps. (I'm staring at nodjs/React hell as I write this .. please tell me there's a way to get back the beautiful Compose web I saw and used just a few months ago)
