Does this language have a name? Is it Koxml? 😀

I am missing some methods like componentWillUnmount() or componentDidMount () 😆

[jim]

Those methods encourage people to think of their widgets as having a lifecycle and being a "thing" (instead of being a functional transformation from data->UI), so I'm glad we never had them as first class citizens on a widget class. One of the reasons I advocated so hard for composables to be functions was that I didn't want someone to have the bright idea of adding lifecycle methods back in a future version of Compose.

Sounds very interesting, would love to read a blog post/watch a talk about this @jim!

You don't need lifecycle in Composable functions if they are nothing but UI. Same as there is no lifecycle in normal Android Views. 😀

That looked very React like.

So, we can't use the name "lifecycle" when using Effects or RememberObserver? They are replacement to old onCommit, onActive, onDispose, etc. Associating they to lifecycle is better to understand, I think.
In some moments we'll need dispose resources created on "enter" and after "exit" a composable function. Is not that a lifecycle?
