The ever-changing landscape of development on the Android platform gets an update with the new Jetpack Compose UI toolkit.
I think it's important to know where to draw the line between evolution and stability. On one hand innovation and bringing new ideas and features to a framework are necessary and welcome. On the other hand if you constantly and totally substitute
the ways you do things rather than improve them, you force everyone to work just in order to just keep up.
The Android platform is one such case - breaking backwards compatibility every step of the way. First there was Java, now there's Kotlin. Saying that, it's not just the introduction of Kotlin that has changed the face of development, but the whole revamping of the platform, the libraries and the way of building apps.
