The removed code is probably an outdated code from the age when Kotlin
compiler was using VirtualFiles for operating. Previously the links were
stored and passed further, but now it is only some additional check
(files are unused after the check) with an implicit dependency to
IDEA internals.
The deleted check could probably be responsible for handling references
to JS libraries because of the working compiler daemon.
The code was spotted during an investigation for the
2bf22caeb7 commit (there's a detailed
description in the commit message).
JavaScript Translation
This module performs the translation of Kotlin source code to JavaScript.
There are various Kotlin APIs to JavaScript environments in the standard library.
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.
