All of this is flowing in from the ongoing #KotlinConf
Jetpack Compose - a react like paradigm to build apps - is the future of android app development. And I could not be more excited.
Kotlin Multiplatform is on track (https://twitter.com/zsmb13/status/1202507590674112513 https://twitter.com/zsmb13/status/1202507590674112513) and will let ios apps be built using android studio without a Mac.
Kotlin 1.4 is touting upto 3x compiler improvements.
The question here is about the future of Flutter. Why do Flutter/Dart when Android is officially throwing its weight behind Kotlin and Compose is going to be every bit as react-y as Flutter or SwiftUI.
- pjmlp 7y agoSame applies to why ChromeOS when Android? Politics. Management is throwing money at them and watching who brings the best numbers back home, kind of thing. Although like ChromeOS was forced to eventually support Android, I imagine that Flutter will eventually loose the battle. Betting on Dart was never a clever option to start with, and now with Xamarin/WinUI, JetPack Compose and SwiftUI all demoing Flutter like experiences, it is clear that the reasoning for Dart being a special case isn't really the case.
