Ilmir Usmanov eb81c205c7 Replace CHECKCAST kotlin/Unit with ARETURN for tail call optimization
Sometimes instead of {POP, GETSTATIC Unit.INSTANCE, ARETURN} sequence
the codegen emits {CHECKCAST Unit, ARETURN} sequence, which breaks tail
call optimization. By replacing CHECKCAST with ARETURN we eliminate
this issue.

JavaScript Translation

This module performs the translation of Kotlin source code to JavaScript.

There are various Kotlin APIs to JavaScript environments and libraries in the js.libraries project.

Compiling the Kotlin Standard Library for JavaScript

The Kotlin Standard Library for JS is built with gradle, see the corresponding module's ReadMe.

Reusing JVM based test cases in JavaScript

Any Kotlin test cases using the org.junit.Test annotation and the kotlin.test package, such as this test case are automatically converted to JavaScript using QUnit.

This allows the test cases to be run directly in a web page in any web browser.

Using the Kotlin Library in JavaScript

There is a simple sample which shows how to use the Kotlin Standard Library from inside JavaScript in a web page.
