A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I created a branch experimentally converting a project at work from Views to Compose to show the rest of the team. I’m liking the diff numbers `+17,613 −188,973` . Same functionality. Looks like Compose could help us get this repo to a much more manageable size.

Damn that sounds like a lot of work for something experimental :sweat_smile: I can’t even imagine how you can get down to 10% of the numbers, what were those XML files even doing :joy:
I remember <https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/jetpack-compose-before-and-after-8b43ba0b7d4f|this post> that was describing another case like this. Certainly feels like a net positive in general!

I think a fair bit of it was docs. I regenerated the docs (I wrote docs for my compose code too), but Compose allowed me to get rid of a lot of complex view, adapter, helper, etc. classes.

I remember when I saw rememberTransformableState, and I could finally get rid of the Pan and Zoom logic I wrote about a year ago.

`rememberTransformableState` I didn’t even know this exists :sweat_smile:

I didn’t either until I started researching how to convert my code to compose. I was very skeptical at first. There was no way I only needed one function…
