great news :) Flutter/Dart was a joy for me to code in. As a backend engineer I could pretty much skip all nonsense and just build a simple Android/iOS app in a matter of days. I didn't even have to use Android Studio, built and deploy my app straight from the terminal via CLI. I have looked at multiple different solutions how to hack flutter to run on desktop but didn't want to invest my time in them as they would probably crash in weird scenarios. This will make things so much easier! modern tooling + no electron = win for both developers and users.

That's incredible. Flutter seems to have a modern API, a great, customizable look, and a growing ecosystem. My only concern is, what are the executable sizes and performance like?

  I have been coding mobile apps for a while, both native, with react native, and now I'm doing a flutter app. Can't say much about this desktop targets, but on the mobile side, in terms of size and performance, they are much closer to native than react.

  In debug mode the app can be around 25MBs but in release mode the same app can be around 5MBs
