It’s good to have multiple choices, but given the momentum and quality of apps developed using Flutter, I think it’s ahead and will have enough developers to keep it relevant and stay. Also UI programming is very complex given the prolifera

I think Flutter now can survive without google. It has enough developer momentum behind it and it’s unlike react native a bolt on solution to somehow make it work. It might fit Facebook’s case (although they abandoned it themselves in favou

What I mean is not used in any of my projects or work. I have accessed it when working on Elm, and after loading it once cannot even understand why Elm a language which wants 0 runtime error in JavaScript can even accept such a slow system.

Yes probably viable for you as an individual, this does not collate into viable for most. It’s still a niche inside a niche. People are writing web backend in Haskell for decades, it is a viable choice for very specific niche of web develop

At present Rust's primary focus is systems programming language, it will take another 3-5 years to be a viable web programming that too in a niche area. I doubt the libraries will be mature enough to provide easy way to build the way o

Min.io will bite you, if you expect it to work like S3 API, we were bitten by it already as it does not aim for full S3 API implementation and it's not their focus. So be careful using min.io, as cloud storage abstraction library which

That’s precisely the issue, until and unless enough libraries are created in Rust with little to no dependency on C/C++, it won’t be a significant language but will just be something similar to Haskell may be bit larger. So I still fee
