Performance?

[sleeyax]

What's the performance of this library? Do you plan to add any benchmarks?

On first sight there appears to be a longer startup time with this library vs a custom platform-specific implementation, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thus, some more information about performance would clear things up for me (and many others)!

Example custom implementation w/o this lib

This is what my setup looked like without this library.

commonMain/.../L18n.kt:

@Composable
@ReadOnlyComposable
expect fun translate(key: String): String

androidMain/.../L18n.kt:

package com.example.common.platform

import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable
import androidx.compose.runtime.ReadOnlyComposable
import androidx.compose.ui.res.stringResource
import com.example.common.R

@ReadOnlyComposable
@Composable
actual fun translate(key: String): String {
    val stringClass = R.string::class.java
    val field = stringClass.getDeclaredField(key)
    return stringResource(field.get(stringClass) as Int)
}

iosMain/.../L18n.kt:

Not implemented yet, but same principle
