I think it would be more interesting to expose how the bytecode becomes JS. But I guess I'll dig through at some point... nm, that breakout (that you could run on a 6502) maxxes a 15W modern CPU core. That's 10.000x less efficient.

There's no bytecode emitted -- Kotlin is unique among JVM languages in that it acts more like a frontend, similar to LLVM or GCC. The Kotlin code is translated from an IR/AST into JS directly. The JS is one of many target languages for the Kotlin compiler. Kotlin Source Code | Kotlin Compiler | IR / / \ \ JVM WASM Native JS
