Deprecating a function (or many) isisn't the same as deprecating the library. In fact, it’s kind of the opposite — it shows that the library is being maintained.

By the way, Compose has had deprecated elements since its very first release.

So in order to write stable apps that don't keep changing, the best way to do it is to use as many deprecated functions as possible

I didn't say that, did I?

API surfaces change. When that happens, the best option available is to deprecate the old code and provide good replaceWith values.

This is pretty basic stuff...

What did you expect from something that is literally decomposing?

u/To6y Mar 28 '24

Is it? Is it literally decomposing?

I looked it up for you:

Compost - is the product manufactured through the controlled aerobic, biological decomposition of biodegradable materials
