React doesn't allow to use hooks conditionally (differently each render):
val Component = fc<RProps> {
if (…)
useRef() // big no no
}
Is that an issue Compose shares? Or is this safe?
@Composable
fun Component() {
if (…)
val a by remember { … }
}

(ignoring that Kotlin doesn't allow a val declaration in a braceless-if)

yes, it is fine

Really? That's one of the big pain points of React for me, really good to know

Thanks to the compiler plugin I suppose.

this remembered object lives while the condition is true, that is completely fine
