I don't think that's true. Flutter is having a shitload of momentum right now. Just recently Canonical embraced Flutter as a first class option for building Wayland apps. Flutter is running on Google hardware such as smart speakers. Of course you also have the ever-looming Fuchsia OS that will have Flutter as the premier toolkit for apps. Etc. etc.
- pjmlp 5y agoLike Ubuntu Touch?
- mekkkkkk 5y agoDesktop. Don't know about Touch, but one would assume it carries over at some point.
- pjmlp 5y agoI mean with the same adoption success.
- mekkkkkk 5y agoWhat? Ubuntu Touch is an OS. Flutter is just a GUI framework, like Qt. Not sure what you're trying to say.
- pjmlp 5y agoThat Flutter is nowhere to be seen beyond As Words, the new buggy Google Pay, and a couple of cases that Google sponsored to show something in stage during Flutter conferences. And Flutter isn't even something that the whole company buys into, hence the counter movement from Android team and JetBrains with Compose or the whole PWA and Fungus Project from Chrome team. Fuchsia remains to be seen if it is going to be another Android or follow Brillo's footsteps.
- mekkkkkk 5y agoFlutter is used in an increasing number of production apps. I'm getting frequent recruitment offers for Flutter roles. So regardless of any skepticism you might have for the longevity of the project, saying that it's only relevant for the Ad Words people is just not true. It's being adopted, and being embraced, way outside of the googleplex.
