I really, deeply, disagree
Interested what others think
- jononomo 3y agoI’m about to go all in on a Flutter. I need a cross platform mobile/web framework that doesn’t use JavaScript, and I’ve heard that Flutter is a joy to work with.
- Vt71fcAqt7 3y agoI highly encourage you to do so, but only if web isn't your main focus.
- worik 3y agoStrongly agree about web Use Javascript this year, Rust to WASM next year Mobile phone apps should have had their day. Build webapps in HTML5
- jononomo 3y agoWhy do you disagree?
- account-5 3y agoI'd be interested too. As far as I'm aware nothing currently available can do what dart/flutter can.
- worik 3y agoDart is very good at doing pointless things. The optimiser is terrific at optimizing things after you need them (there is a longer story there) I spent a bit of time using it in web context, clunky and buggy. The test harness is constrained in all sorts of arbitrary ways. I say arbitrary, I expect there is a strong theory behind it, and google insists.... As for flutter itself the easy things are easier, the hard things much harder. I did not build our ui but I could never find where anything is executed in it A flutter UI is not (?) HTML On the web there exists HTML5 which inherits the oddities of CSS and facilitates any old shit you want fromm Javascript, but it is very tractable. Easy things still easy, hard things easier. Dart/flutter was meant to replace Javascript, I can see how they started, but they got lost. Got to say, the developers were very responsive on their issues page
- account-5 3y agoDart was the replacement for JavaScript, flutter came later and kind of saved dart. I quite like flutter though on the web agree it's not the best.
