I just saw a bunch of numbers last night that suggested Flutter had taken the title as more popular and had it beat fairly comprehensively in terms of developer experience and performance.
I’m trying to find it now but not having a lot of luck as it was a random Twitter thread that was pulling in a bunch of things from various sources, so take it for what you will in the meantime.
For what it’s worth as someone who has spent a bunch of time with Flutter at this point, none of that surprised me to hear, it’s actually a really pleasant experience, the tooling is amazing and unlike anything I had seen before as all of my experience was with web before.
It’s underlying architecture feels really solid, also despite people talking a lot of trash about it, it turns out Dart is actually a really great language as a mix between C#, Java, Kotlin and JavaScript of sorts.
I think every serious criticism I have seen levelled at both Dart and Flutter is also actively addressed on their roadmap so I also feel extremely good about the future direction of both projects.
Like in short, probably the best thing I’ve discovered in a few years code wise, would recommend checking it out.
