# Kermit Now Supports WASM

**[Touchlab](https://daily.dev/sources/touchlab)** · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Kermit, a popular Kotlin Multiplatform logging library, now supports WebAssembly (WASM). The post walks through the integration process including adding the WASM target in Gradle build scripts, defining a shared source set between JS and WASM, and migrating code. Key challenges encountered were the absence of the console API in WASM and Wasm-JS interop limitations around the use of `Any?` types in external functions, which required switching to `String`. Lessons learned include interop being a work in progress, difficulties loading `.wasm` files directly, tricky debugging, and Node.js version compatibility requirements for WASM GC support.
