#ComposeMultiplatform will never reach 100% adoption in the platforms it targets But it will enable many kotlin developers(🙋‍♂️) to build beautiful apps beyond Android and I am excited for that 🥳 thanks @kotlin team

It just landed on @GoogleChrome Canary. Just works! 🔥 #WebAssembly #WasmGC #Kotlin

@antonarhipov 🤔 I wonder when we will be able to use standalone VMs

#Kotlin just introduced wasm-wasi target in 1.9.20 Sometime interesting to try again ;) #kotlin-wasm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew-…

🚀Recomposition in Jetpack Compose 2 🚀 🧵After my latest thread related recomposition, I had a time to investigate more and here is second part of recomposition series. ⬇️ 1⃣ Recomposition definition again: Recomposition is the process of calling your composable functions again when inputs change. and here is simple example I think this part is straightforward: *⃣ Click Button *⃣ The count state increments. *⃣ The change in count triggers the recomposition of our top-level Composable. 2⃣ Let's wrap our state within another Column composable and observe the logs: Interestingly, even if the count state is defined in the Column, and there's no state within the Counter scope, the entire scope still recomposes. But why?⬇️ 3⃣ Let's check the implementation of Column composable The reason for the surprising recomposition behavior? Column is defined as an inline function with content passed as a lambda. For those unfamiliar with how inline functions process lambdas, let's remember together. 4⃣ Lambdas passed to inline functions are directly inlined (or incorporated) into the calling function. Post-compilation, it looks like this: 5⃣ Wrap-Up: *⃣ In Jetpack Compose, Box, Row, Column, and ConstraintLayout are inline composables. *⃣Content passed to these composables gets incorporated directly into the calling function, expanding the recomposition scope. Being aware of this behavior helps in efficiently structuring your composables and preventing unintended recompositions. 🔥 Keep following for more on Jetpack Compose!

We are only a month away from the next Jetpack Compose and internals cohort course 🤫 Engineers from more than 20 top companies took it already 💯 I've prepared several updates for this new edition. Few open seats remaining! 🔥

My talk from @droidconSF is up! If you aren't sick of me yapping about Shaders with Compose, check it out: droidcon.com/2023/07/20/unl… Now I just need to revamp it for @droidconNYC this year 🗽

📢 KOTLIN ROADMAP UPDATE: Get ready for the upcoming improvements! Kotlin 2.0 with a Stable K2 Compiler is on the horizon! The K2 compiler aims to bring major performance improvements, speed up new language feature development, and provide a better architecture for multiplatform projects. It will go stable in Kotlin 2.0. In the run-up to this, we will address user feedback from the K2 Beta release, support Kotlin Scripting with K2, and release the first version of the K2-based IntelliJ plugin. Kotlin Multiplatform to Go Stable This Year! The Kotlin team at @jetbrains is continuing to stabilize Kotlin Multiplatform. We've already deprecated outdated pieces of the Multiplatform toolchain, introduced levels of stability into the Kotlin/Native standard library, and updated the API to enable Google to create their own plugin for multiplatform project support for Android targets. The stable Kotlin Multiplatform will also bring improved Kotlin/Native interoperability with iOS, a more performant Kotlin/Native memory manager, improved Kotlin/Native compilation time, full support for Kotlin Multiplatform in K2, and a more user-friendly and comprehensive onboarding experience for new users. More great stuff to boost your productivity with Kotlin: - We plan to promote Kotlin/Wasm to Alpha. As part of this, all official versions of JetBrains libraries (including all kotlinx libraries, Ktor and Compose Multiplatform) will gain support for the Kotlin/Wasm target! - We are also working to make Kotlin/Wasm suitable for standalone Wasm VMs (without JavaScript support). - We are developing the new foundational library, kotlinx-io, which is based on the Okio foundation and leverages its top-notch, battle-tested design and implementations. - We aim to improve the Android debugging experience and make it easier to debug inline classes and inline functions. For the full picture, head over to our detailed Roadmap page. Discover our achievements, understand our primary goals and plans, and, as always, we'd love to hear your feedback! jb.gg/w3lcym

@rhymezx_code I feel that we are at a point where finding Java resources is tedious especially for a beginner

#AndroidDev Honestly, I don't think so. I use to tell junior android developers to learn java first before now, but at this current android atmosphere. you will just be wasting your time. 🤔 what is your take on this question ?
