Is JDK 8 a requirement?

We are using Compose in our team and the tools force you to use JDK 11 and I think this requirement is going to be coming for Android Studio soon (currently it is on Canary) I’ve opened a ticket to look into this

Hi @pablisco!! 🙌 I think it would be necessary to differentiate: • The requirements to build Arrow to be able to contribute with its development • The requirements to use Arrow In this case, it's a requirement to build Arrow. There was an interesting chat about it here: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C5UPMM0A0/p1619021205356700

Oh yeah totally, I meant for building 🙂 Thanks for the thread, I’ll have a look

This seems to make it work on any local JDK 🤞
