EffeKt brings Vue.js inspired reactivity to Kotlin opening new ways to interact with the famous programming language.

You know how I love all the programming languages and frameworks. With every technology I learn and share with you guys I learn something new. Crossover projects are the ones I like the most.

For example today I just found out that Benjamin Kosten announced EffeKt, a project that can revolutionize Kotlin. It may have been missed by many because we were celebrating today 32nd birthday of Python and other important things.

But EffeKt may open a new way to interact and use Kotlin.

The just announced project is a reactive equivalent of Vue.js hooks for Kotlin.

If you are not familiar with the reactivity just a short demo taken just from the EffeKt README:

You may notice that aside from regular Kotlin code there are three functions used here: ref, computed and watchEffect.
