I wonder why Flutter didn't gain traction in US. It seems to be more or less popular in poor countries and even less in Europe. But in US it seems to be quite a no name. Why US is so JavaScript-centric?
- dleeftink 1y ago> poor countries Ah yes, those fluttering countries and their fluttery ways
- vin047 1y agoThere are a lot more JS and Native developers compared to Flutter/Dart developers in the West. Plus fear-mongering around Google dropping development of Flutter.
- kobieps 1y agoAnecdotaly I've found this to be true. The cause is probably multifaceted. Some things I noticed: - npm is legit slower in these countries - Flutter's easy and stable toolchain and great cross-platform support counts a lot more in countries with less specialization - lower on-disk footprint because no node_modules black hole, actually matters in countries without infinity disk size - smaller app bundles mean less mobile data Just some anecdotal observations, there are probably other factors too like inertia
- zerr 1y agoIn a similar trend, in many big American companies you can often find that in US they list front-end, full-stack and other similar js positions while e.g. C++ positions are "offshored" to the teams e.g. in India.
