Probably related, The Future is Flutter where former HTML editor Ian Hixie says they are no longer at Google but declares their dedication to Towards a Modern Web Stack aka Flutter-web the low-level replacements of html with rendering one's app into Canvas. https://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1700627532 https://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1700627532 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38383306 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38383306 I've written numerous times about what a terrible horrible thing for the web & for users this is, so I'll spare a repeat. Even though I remain a skeptic of low-level app platforms like Flutter, I do respect a lot Tim's penultimate parting post, about this being work being a vocation, a calling for many of these folks. Being treated as industrial force, to be deployed at the leisure of the company, is disgusting & widespread, and I appreciate Tims words here. > Any negativity you read is coming from folk who wanted to see senior leaders be better stewards of this amazing inheritance. It's not about the paycheck. These are people who believe in this work as a vocation. They're not fungible resources to be redeployed at whim. I also would volunteer that Fuchsia seems really cool, like a really smart capable secure OS, and that I hope it can strongly persist.
