A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I'm completely new to Kotlin and I need to rewrite a cross platform app to be native.  I've already finished the Swift UI side and loved the declarative UI style.  I saw Kotlin had entered beta with Jetpack Compose with their version of declarative UI.   I understand it's in beta but how fluid is it it to use?  I need to use Google maps and also braintrees drop in payment UI.  SwiftUI had was to make representable views from UIKit incase you got in a corner with something that wasn't supported.  Does Compose have something like that?  I know for a fact there's no braintree support for Kotlin Compose but can you mix a Java view, wrap it in Kotlin and then add it to a compose view?  I'm just trying to feel out if there's work arounds incase I would get stuck where there's no support

Yes, there's support for this:
```// Create a view in the constructor/factory block
AndroidView({ context -&gt; MyView(context) }) { view -&gt;
  // then update it declaratively here
  view.setFoo(foo)
}```
