The target audience seems very small. There’s lots of C# shops (Xamarin), and lots of JavaScript shops (React Native, Titanium), but few C++ shops that’d benefit from developing apps.
Maybe I’m wrong but the niche seems too small to be sustainable.
- langitbiru 7y agoSoon there will be Dart shops (Flutter). :)
- programmarchy 7y agoFunny you mention that. I primarily work with native mobile development and have grown fond of Flutter. Interestingly, the situation is reversed; shops will adopt Dart because of Flutter.
- pjmlp 7y agoAt least that is what Dart team hopes, after losing support from Chrome and Angular teams.
- felideon 7y agoExcept Angular Dart is alive and kicking, no? Powering AdSense at least which is a huge chunk of Google's business if I recall correctly from a Flutter talk by the PM who put some numbers on a slide.
- pjmlp 7y agoIt looks pretty dead to me. AdSense team rescued Dart from certain death. They also used to be heavy GWT users before, a stack now mostly discarded by Google.

- la_fayette 7y agoAltough i really like flutter, i absolitely dont understad why these guys propose dart for it... it's just sad...

- sidewinder128 7y agoThis is different, Its not that c++ that people think from the 90's. - Boden supports native components for iOS and Android and maybe other platforms in the future. - uses c++17 really clean with powerful abstractions, think all your app in just c++17, no xml or other craps, I want to make my app with just c++17. - no garbage collectors, slowness, pause the world etc - single binary - the fastest programming language in the market. the list goes on and on.
