12/06/2021, 9:14 AMIt’s still Android, all of these have a reason to exist like strings and how they make having the app in different languages easy. Global variables sounds like you’d be re-inventing the wheel when you need to solve those same problems.

12/06/2021, 9:26 AMI agree 100%, but it's interesting to think through what this looks like for Compose multi platform? Is there any natural abstraction for this?
