Hello, from this tweet https://twitter.com/intelligibabble/status/1273659190406295553?s=21 what is the difference between by mutableStateOf and by state ?

It seems that both are mutable on this example :O

state { 123 } is equivalent to remember { mutableStateOf(123) }

we’ve actually been considering tweaking names or the API here because this is a common source of confusion

@Leland Richardson [G]
Talking about tweaking name and confusion, why there is vertical`Arrangement` but horizontal`Gravity` ? 😛
And then for Arrangement we have Arrangement.Foo but for Gravity we have Alignment.Bar 🤯

[Leland Richardson [G]]

umm, i’m not really sure. i wasn’t involved in any of those decisions or api review. off the cuff, it does seem inconsistent. not sure if there’s a good reason or not

We will tweak the naming for `Arrangement`/`Gravity` /`Alignment`. Currently Arrangement refers to positioning multiple children, while the other two refer to positioning one child individually. This distinction might remain, though it's indeed confusing that Alignment and Gravity are used interchangeably now - we will stick to one but it's TBD to which one 🙂
