The Android documentation advises that Composable functions shall have no side effects, and one of their reasons is that "Composable functions could be run in parallel" (https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/mental-model#parallel)

Compose doesn't do that (yet), but I'd love to know whether the Compose team is still considering doing that, and how big its impact on performance could be?

One of the 1.8.0 alphas mentions adding pausable composables which seems loosely related. I haven't seen any documentation explaining what that's all about though

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Pausable composition is a feature that lets subcompositions be gradually subcomposed over multiple frames. So it runs compositions concurrently I guess, but not in parallel.
