Cloudflare Workers Announces Broad Language Support
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post introduces support for Python, Scala, Kotlin, Reason, and Dart on Cloudflare Workers. It details the underlying mechanisms for adding support for dynamically typed languages (Python via Transcrypt) and statically typed languages (Scala via Scala.js), including the use of Wrangler, webpack loaders, and type definitions for JavaScript APIs. The post also provides examples of how to get started with these new languages and discusses the trade-offs of compiling to JavaScript versus WebAssembly.
