As someone who has spent some time inside the Windows 10 environment working on UWP applications, I always thought that Xamarin would someday be my goto whenever I have the opportunity to dive into Mobile development.
I am comfortable with C# and I have always felt happy writing in XAML.
But looking into Flutter, I think it's undeniable how smart this project truly was. Even if it isn't backed by a popular programming language, since Dart obviously does not fall on that category.
- mutagen 8y agoHave you looked at Uno? http://platform.uno/ http://platform.uno/ C# & XAML UWP layer with Xamarin for mobile. The company behind it has been using for a few years to produce apps and recently open sourced it. I'm intrigued and weighing it against Flutter for my next bit of mobile experimentations.
- krzat 8y agoThis thing seems to be a layered cake of leaky abstractions. Flutter is actually the opposite.
- oblio 8y agoLet’s see if it’s smart 10 years from now. Cross platform toolkits that draw their own widgets tend to have a hard time keeping up longer term and Google isn’t really known for the constance regarding project management. If they “only” pull another AngularJS -> Angular transition. and it’s already a bad thing. If they abandon it, ouch!
