06/20/2021, 4:36 AMIt’s not Kotlin library but the Kotlin compiler that prevents compose from being able to use multiple Kotlin versions. There’s no plan to change this.

That seems like a huge restriction though, as a user of the APIs. You can't update Kotlin unless compose is compatible with it.
Also, in order to use compose's new version, you have to update Kotlin version as well.

06/20/2021, 6:13 AMStable Compiler Plugin API is on the Kotlin roadmap (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/roadmap.html) but it is deferred pending other priorities. after Kotlin compiler's IR and API are stable, Compose may be able to target multiple Kotlin versions. no timeline (but not anytime soon)
