Flutter looks great, and I seriously considered it for my next project. In the end I decided the possibility of Google getting bored and ending support was enough to tip me to using Qt Quick instead - even though I kinda dislike Qt and js, and will have to pay for it.
- beckler 6y agoWell, Flutter is open source, so even if Google dropped support (extremely unlikely), it will likely continue on.
- skratlo 6y agoIt will likely not continue
- byeager 6y agoDo you mean Google's support will likely not continue or that the project will not continue if Google pulls its support.
- filoleg 6y agoThe way I read it, it looks like OP is saying that in case Google pulls out, then it will likely not continue. And I tend to agree with this. I can foresee an initial counter-push for the first year or so after google pulls out, but then the project will die its own death. However, with Flutter specifically, I have a strong feeling that Google won't pull out. Esp given how Dart was kind of a big flop for years after the initial release, and Google still kept it around until Flutter came into existence, and then made a hard push to continue with Dart. At the moment, Dart is the best and most popular it has ever been.
- pjmlp 6y agoNot Google per se, Ad Words team rescued the project from closing down as they had a major effort to port from GWT to Dart 1.0. Ad Words is what keeps Flutter alive.
