Thank you for your interest and suggestions 💚
I would really love to support Java and kotlin (#517). However, I am not "yet" able to compile and run them in the browser.
LiveCodes is a client-side only app. All compilation and processing occur in the browser. There is no backend to compile any of the 80+ currently supported languages. And I really want to keep it like that. This allows huge benefits like being able to easily (self-)host the app on any static file server (for free), ability to scale to serve a large number of users without adding almost any significant load on server (currently hosted on Cloudflare CDN), potential to run offline (not yet implemented), etc.
Please see: https://livecodes.io/docs/why
I would really be grateful if someone can help or guide compiling/running Java/kotlin in the browser.
And again, thank you 🙏
The closest I could find is Cheerpj https://cheerpj.com/
However, it is not open source.
The other option would be loading a whole linux vm in the browser and use that to compile. A much more complex approach, however, it allows supporting a lot more languages.
