Compared to other declarative UI frameworks like SwiftUI and Flutter I’ve heard practically nothing about Compose. Have many here had experience with it? How does it feel compared to other frameworks (for devs and users).

We went with Jetpack Compose for 2 of our greenfield Android apps and are quite happy with it. There are obviously some hiccups, but our teams have been very productive with it. The Google Android DevRel team was pretty active at the DroidCon Berlin and they’re actively promoting Compose. Jetpack Compose is the UI framework du jour for Android and I hope it sticks around.

The alpha was (as expected) rough. Jetpack compose works (best) when used in android studio, similar to the SwiftUI <-> XCode dependency. Semi-big upfront cost of learning the IDE/framework/config quirks, but other than that, the future of dev android frontend experience.

Its a joy compared to traditional xml approach, and a lot less headaches than flutter (dart, missing plugins, custom widgets)
