The moment I downloaded the new version, without even having used Gpay for years — I knew — I knew they used some web-based or write-once bullshit just by the latency in the tab swipes alone, I can discern it distinctly and am sensitive to these deficits in performance (unfortunately).
Then I thought, "ah shit" searched "Flutter Gpay" and sure enough.
Sigh. When will they learn.

Flutter then gave Dart extra resources by picking it instead of JavaScript. Since then they have been on a crusade to keep Flutter relevant. For me it isn't a coincidence that Jetpack Composer was born as Flutter was getting increasing adoption. Except there is a big difference between Java/Kotlin and anything that uses NDK, outside graphics rendering, every OS API call on Android needs to go through either JNI or Android IPC.
