The text of a Compose app is incredibly anti-human. Partly it's a consequence of Compose itself, but mostly it's a consequence of "the Compose Style".
I'm looking at an 85-line long method. It takes 19 arguments. (Not an approximation or exaggeration, I counted them.)
It does the Compose equivalent of "Yeah, gimme a box with a rich text editor inside it".
To me, every line reads "I hate you I hate you I hate you".
