So glad this is finally out! androidx.webgpu brings the WebGPU API to Android developers. Having access to a modern GPU API in Kotlin without dealing with the OpenGL legacy nor the complexity of Vulkan is exciting!

Using it, I can split a Composable into multiple slices and animate them separately, like in my glitch effect.

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
