The wonderful thing about making everything OSS, and also why execs hate it, is it gives up a degree of control to kill something at a moment's notice. And so Dart/Flutter are in a good place!
- busterarm 4y agoIt's an important point to understand that it's not the flexibility to kill it but the flexibility to divert its resources elsewhere. You lose that with OSS projects because you eventually end up with people screaming down your door and the visibility that brings. Also being assigned to work on these projects internally is career death. Both of these problems happened to Google Cloud's Terraform provider at some point and it was a headache for the company and the community. Luckily Terraform adoption is out of Google's hands. They're just forced to play ball. OTOH, Google could easily kill off Flutter via other means.
