Blazing Fast UI Development with Compose Hot Reload
summary
Live Compose UI editing on desktop that preserves state while swapping code, recompiles via a continuous Gradle build and injects a Java agent into a JVM running the JetBrains Runtime (JBR) + DCEVM to migrate objects, and ships as a Gradle plugin (Alpha 11). Demos show 14 successful hot reloads editing layout, animations, adding files and classes across modules; limitation: reload fails when supertype/layout of generated lambdas changes requiring a restart (lambda numbering / supertype change break).
