I'm glad to see Kotlin support (would love Python support but you can't win them all)
The Android APIs are still a major problem for me. In web front-ends we've basically gone full FRP and I'm sitting here with my resource files and 10 line invocations to make a notification.
This is partly because it's necessary for Java, but I'd love to see a first party API that tries out something a bit more fluent
- BoorishBears 9y agoIt's not necessary for Java, the Android APIs are just horribly written, and the notification is a lot more involved than you'd think because it ties into how the OOM treats your app and the intent system
- rtpg 9y agoI think I get why the notification stuff is so complicated (there's a lot of stuff going on, after all!) It always feels like Android shipped with the low-level API but forgot to provider a higher-level API for the 95% case

- zghst 9y agofrp on the front end varies widely. it's trending towards a true vision but something like Cycle hasn't completely enveloped the mainstream's mind. IMHO, Microsoft and FB need to lead the way on this complete transition on the web
- krschultz 9y agoCheck out Litho, it's built around the principles of declarative APIs and one way data flow with immutable props. Definitely taking inspiration from React.
- umren 9y agoThere is an Anko for Kotlin, that is much more mature and was before Litho
