Kotlin - for web development?

Kotlin is a modern, multi-platform programming language that has gained popularity in recent years, and it is commonly used for Android app development, server-side development, and other types of applications. However, when it comes to web development, Kotlin is not as widely used as some other programming languages like JavaScript, Python, or Ruby.

One reason for this is that Kotlin has limited support for web development frameworks and libraries compared to other languages. While there are some Kotlin web frameworks available such as Ktor and Spring Boot, the ecosystem is still relatively small compared to other languages.

Another factor is that JavaScript, the language of the web, is still the primary language for building web applications, and many web frameworks and libraries are designed specifically for JavaScript. While Kotlin can be compiled to JavaScript, the resulting code can be larger and less efficient than native JavaScript code.

Additionally, many web developers are already familiar with JavaScript and its associated technologies, which makes it easier to find resources and developers with the necessary skills for web development projects.

That being said, Kotlin can still be a viable option for web development, especially for projects that require integration with other Kotlin-based systems or for developers who prefer the language's syntax and features. As the Kotlin ecosystem continues to grow and more web frameworks and libraries become available, Kotlin may become a more popular option for web development in the future.
