TeaVM - is quite peculiar web framework. You write the code on Java/Kotlin/Scala and it transforms the code to JavaScript to be run in a browser. It sounds like old-school GWT framework, but the biggest difference is GWT parses Java source code, but TeaVM parses the compiled java byte code. This makes compilation much faster than GWT and it supports the latests features from JVM languages. As author says, the compiled JS is significantly smaller, than on Angular or ReactJS. So, today you can use your favourite Kotlin both on backend and frontend :3
