Working with Dart now and it looks like it’s straight from the 90’s in a lot of aspects. It is not s bad as vanilla JS but when given a clean slate to design a new platform so many better choices could have been made...
- skocznymroczny 6y agoI use Dart every now and then and for me "straight from the '90s" is a benefit. I learned the language in about a day. IDE works great, no issues with autocomplete whatsoever (which is often an issue in "modern" languages).
- dep_b 6y agoMost mobile developers come from Kotlin or Swift, that are pretty similar to each other and Kotlin is the official language for Android anyway. I had no trouble doing Kotlin coming from a Swift background, the differences are related to the fact it's a JVM language running on Android but the ideas are largely the same. It would make bridging for native plug-ins a lot easier as well. I don't know how Google Flutter interfacing Google Android could look so medieval when they're basically the same company. They managed to make Xamarin look great in comparison.
