Blazing Fast UI Development with Compose Hot Reload
summary
Live demos show Compose Hot Reload applied to a real Compose Multiplatform desktop app (Cotling Conf sample on GitHub) with about 20 successful reloads during the talk, often preserving UI state but dropping minimal scopes when necessary. Setup is a two‑line Gradle plugin (RC2) plus using the JetBrains Runtime so the injected agent can leverage DCEVM to redefine classes, migrate objects, and recompose affected subtrees; IDE and dev‑tooling integration work across modules and handle failed compiles gracefully.
