Flutter isn’t going to get shelved. It is the UI framework for Fuchsia. I agree Dart is its biggest problem but Fuchsia prides itself on not having a single system language so I’m sure you’ll be able to target the flutter framework from kotlin and swift and rust and go soon. Also Dart isn’t hard.
- novok 7y agoTBH skimming the dart language, the only thing that was holding me back was the lack of optional types, and with dart 2.7 it looks like they've added it: https://medium.com/dartlang/dart-2-7-a3710ec54e97 https://medium.com/dartlang/dart-2-7-a3710ec54e97
- Supermancho 7y ago> Flutter isn’t going to get shelved. That confident endorsement of future Flutter support is borderline misinformation. Alphabet literally voted on shelving GCP ("the cloud business") a short time ago; https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/17/google-reportedly-wants-to-be-top-two-player-in-cloud-by-2023.html https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/17/google-reportedly-wants-to-b... Dropping public Flutter support is a higher probability event.
- pjmlp 7y agoFuchsia's future is still uncertain, and nowadays they also have C++ and Rust based UIs on the public repo.
- throwno 7y agoFlutter is just a cheap Google copy of React just like now shelved Google Plus was a cheap Google copy of LinkedIn/Facebook. It can and will be discontinued.
- dcow 7y agoIt’s not cheap at all. It does things the right way. It’s the closest thing UI engineers have to a “write once”, deploy everywhere framework. Try it out if you haven’t. It’s definitely not cheap.
