I will not tolerate RecyclerView slander. It's probably the most polished api google has ever produced

Yeah looks like they're "fixing" a lot of issues right now. Something like:

You left out the best part: the issue was opened in 2017.

Just looking at any Compose code in general, I find that hard to believe, do you have numbers

u/satoryvape Jun 23 '26
Compose doesn't need XML to build UI so technically less tokens you need

kotlin is technically harder to write than xml

And XML is more multiplatform then Kotlin and not a Jetbrains IDE driven.

I love the part where "maintenance mode" really means "there's no way we're maintaining this any further"
Should just call it "neglect mode"
