Crafting Idiomatic APIs with Kotlin and Compose
summary
Shows concrete Kotlin and Compose techniques: leverage DSLs, inline functions, property delegates and Kotlin idioms like default parameters, lazy and the Elvis operator to cut boilerplate; use coroutines and structured concurrency to replace Rx complexity and make async deterministic; rely on the Compose compiler plugin (composer parameter and group restarts) so only dirty nodes recompose; adopt tools like Molecule for presentation logic (works for non‑UI state flows) and enable explicit API mode plus ktlint/detekt to keep API surface small and maintainable.
