I wonder if there are plans to make JbCompose truly native i kotlinlang #compose-desktop

A couple people have been experimenting in that direction: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/1463143 Compose is open source, community contributions are welcomed.

isn’t this PR about support of JS, not native

I think porting everything on Native require much more work, at least Android and Desktop both have a lot of things from Java, including such important parts as threading and other concurrency primitives But it would of course very cool to see

I suppose the direction is away from the JVM 😄

Why?

I mean effort towards JbCompose with JS is effort away from the JVM and is in the same direction as JbCompose for native, is what I think Jim meant my direction

Not sure that I see connection here, yes, it’s also effort in MPP compose, but it doesn’t mean that JetBrains Compose will focus on K/N, and especially on Kotlin JS

Just to mention, the main challenge to make Compose work on JS is to make it compatible with klib compilation Whenever it is done, K/Native conversion feels as much simpler task to handle

Yes, as Caelum and Andrei mentioned, the challenges for K/N and K/JS are very similar, and achieving one of them will make the other one "reasonably easy" (for some definition of "easy").

Well, porting compose-runtime is relatively easy, but what about Compose Compiler plugin? Does it work with non-JVM targets?

That's exactly what I meant by "making it work with klib" 🙃 I think it will be possible to reuse the same logic of plugin between js and native

In fact, it is already working for Kotlin/JS but only inside a single module. Here is the demo: https://zal.im/h8/ We are preparing the sources of that prototype. But note that it is far from production, it’s just a proof of concept.
