12/21/2021, 3:08 AMWhy would you use Compose for this? You can write a normal DSL since it's a single pass. All of the features that Compose provides are useless.
Unless you're talking about isomorphic rendering of your frontend code. We have discussed this a few times in #compose-web and there are a lot of unsolved problems like serializing and hydrating the slot table

12/21/2021, 7:53 AMThere are some features that would be useful like layouts, responsiveness, theming, etc.
Also, the use case I'm thinking about involves sharing components/DS across static and dynamic parts of a website. As well as potentially with other targets like Android apps.

Same with responsiveness, that's all browser-side
Writing to a file is a single-pass operation so you never recompose and thus a source-compatible DSL is all you need, no actual Compose.

a source-compatible DSLNot sure I 100% understand this. So I would have to create my own DSL on top of something like kotlinx.html? (not sure if that project is defunct or not)
