Open Source Kotlin Static Code Analysis Tools

Twitter Compose Rules is a set of custom ktlint rules to ensure that your compostables don't fall into common pitfalls, that might be easy to miss in code reviews. It can be challenging for big teams to start adopting Compose, particularly because not everyone will start at the same time or with the same patterns. Twitter tried to ease the pain by creating a set of Compose static checks. Compose has lots of superpowers but also has a bunch of foot guns to be aware of as seen in this Twitter Thread. This is where our static checks come in. We want to detect as many potential issues as we can, as quickly as we can. In this case, we want an error to show prior to engineers having to review the code. Similar to other static check libraries we hope this leads to a "don't shoot the messengers" philosophy which will foster healthy Compose adoption.
