It had layoffs in 2024. And Google has emitted a bunch of words about their support for Flutter, but hasn't taken the most obvious step towards solidifying support: guarantee a minimal spend level on Flutter dev for a decade, either internally or by donating to an external foundation. eg we will spend $x on Flutter until 2036. :shrug: So they've carefully retained the option to cut support at will. Which is their choice, but I recently wasn't comfortable starting a greenfield project in it for that reason.
- muzani 1y agoEveryone says this but personally it's been fine for me in 2025. It won't land you a job or funding because people are afraid of it. But if you're going to just build tools, it works.
- x0x0 1y agoSure, but pointing even a single eng team at it is a multi-million dollar investment annually. I can't do that for sdks w/o firm support or enough industry adoption that the industry can shepherd ongoing development.
