Compose Basic

Woww.... I'm really impressed by Jetpack Compose. Just checkout this UI :point_down::point_down:

In traditional XML it would have taken a whole RecyclerView, ViewHolder, DataBinding maybe, a bunch of Gradle dependencies and whatnot :hot_face::hot_face:... But in Compose it's just 20 lines of Kotlin code :exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head:

Every tool has its "thing it does really well" advantage. How does it (Compose). scale to the rest of the Ux world that cannot be served with a scrolling view of buttons alone?  I mean, it's cool what you're showing, and it's nice that it makes something like this easy. But i want to write real UIs with it. Sometimes, subtly complex ones. And I'm excited about the promise of Compose. I'd just like to see some real demos of real apps. The world only needs so many ToDo lists and social cloister rankings apps.

Checkout them that Google provides as sample apps made with compose.

Unfortunately lazy column is still a lot slower than RecyclerView, hope it will be better, but for now it’s not the strongest part of compose (except amount of code of course)
