Structured concurrency is a paradigm that bridges the gap to easily visualize coroutine execution. It structures coroutines so that:
1. The parent always waits for child tasks to complete
2. Exceptions are properly propagated so they are not silently lost or ignored

There a bunch of stuff to share from this very fun trip that @mbonnin.net and I did, but for now, here's how we actually look like, after over 350km with just muscle and gravity power.

The @kotlinconf.com BIKE trip is almost over!
Last Friday afternoon (3 days ago), we were in Amsterdam.
2 days in, we were crossing the Germany border!

This afternoon (Monday), we arrived in Bremen…
…and tomorrow Tuesday, we will reach Hamburg, and take the train to Copenhagen with our friends!

Well, you got hard boiled eggs to KotlinConf back in 2019.

Hi Mr. Hadi Hariri, we have an extra guest for @kotlinconf.com this year.

They say they eat only soft boiled eggs, can they count the food provided at the conference?

Yesterday part 2:

- Arrival in Amsterdam, grocery shopping, and meeting @mbonnin.net
- Let the ride begin! It's 4:15PM, next stop is 70km away, in Dronten, Flevoland, a very special place.

BTW, do you recognize the brick building in the last 2 photos? What happened here on 2023-04-12 at 1:49PM?

Yesterday, part 1:

- A speedy and comfy border-crossing ride to catch the train at the Geneva central train station. 🇫🇷🇨🇭

- Naps and music in the TGV 🎶😴

- Plenty of time to switch train stations in Paris🇫🇷

- Lunch, more naps, more music, and also blog reading in the Eurostar towards Amsterdam 🇳🇱

- Yes, Copenhagen, Bella Center! 🇩🇰
- That's quite far from Geneva! 🇨🇭
- Don't worry, I have a plan:

1. We take the train to Paris🇫🇷, then Amsterdam 🇳🇱 tomorrow 🚄🚄
2. We join @mbonnin.net and cycle all the way to our friends in Hamburg 🇩🇪 🚲
3. Train to Copenhagen 🇩🇰, then cycle to Bella Center! 🚄🚲

2 days ago:
- Enjoy this soft boiled egg, Kodee, we'll need energy!
- What's awaiting us?
- A coroutine! Just, kidding, a long trip… to KotlinConf!
- You mean, to Copenhagen for KotlinConf 2025?

hobby unlocked:
placing pieces of Kotlin code into Kotlin explorer;
writing the same code in C++ into compiler explorer with -O3;
beating Kotlin code into submission until output matches

I suspect the problem isn't about creating the channel itself, but watchable content for it 🙃😅

Do you think treating the user as a suspending façade is unreasonable, though?

I made this CallableState thing to implement those when a Compose UI is behind the façade, you might find it useful, and maybe inspiring.

Don't bother the GLPv3 license, it's 96% my code I wrote before joining the company, everyone is free to use this :)

That's a hot take… but this one is not 100% inaccurate… 🙃😅

Skip Skip brings SwiftUI app development to Android

Why? Who is it for? What's the value over, say, KMP and Compose Multiplatform?

Is it for people that prefer to avoid upskilling learning the already great programming languages that are easily usable on mobile, namely, Kotlin (on Android, iOS, and more), and Swift (not just iOS, see skip.tools)?

"Treating the user as a function". Do you mean treating it as a façade of suspending functions, as I told you at Droidcon NYC 2022?

When you say code management, is it about embedded code snippets?

You're writing C/C++, Zig, or Rust for Compose Hot Reload?
Or are you testing hot reloading when there are JNI-side changes?

@sellmair.dev Your Compose Hot Reload thing is a pure banger! 🤯😍😍🤯

Tweaking animations & everything else is such a breeze now.

Thanks to the way shorter feedback loop, I can tell I'll do things I'd have never done without it.

Thank you!! ❤️❤️

Ah yes, that's it, it's in Android, but not in Jetpack Compose, nor Compose Multiplatform…
