I went down a similar path during covid from Ruby and decided to look at native development options for the first time and landed on Flutter instead. I have to say reading through this thread I am so glad I didn’t go down the Swift route it

I mean one of them at least went ahead and wrote (technically is in the process of writing) an entire operating system from scratch in response. I say this as someone who uses and has used linux as a daily driver for years now but honestly

I guess that’s the part where we differ. I can’t help but see an inevitable merging between the idea of a native app and a web app until they are possible to be one and the same. So for me the browser is more of a rendering pipeline that ca

I think to be fair to Flutter their entire concept of web support is literally months old at this point outside of beta, it obviously has a long road ahead of it to become more web native. At the same time, I think that we need to start thi

I was just digging into Cloud Native Buildpacks (buildpacks.io) as an alternative to Dockerfiles yesterday and realised that they actually have SBOM generation built into them for popular languages which is a really nice easy security infra

That was the impression I had from the outside. They were clearly number 1 for a long time and I guess that’s when everyone made the decision and now the idea of migrating is not feasible for most.

I don’t actually know that much about the AWS ecosystem at all but to me from the outside I wouldn’t even consider doing anything greenfield there they already seem so far behind in terms of offerings some of which you touched on there but

This is literally what knative is. I don’t know the AWS world at all but at least in GCP their main ideas of serverless are: 1. Knative: open source standards based serverless platform that’s in the process of making its way into the CNCF.

I don’t imagine this is really the kind of thing you can get into publicly but I’d love to know more about why a bank of all places doesn’t want to pay for RHEL and just go with the free fork instead.

That’s not actually true though I don’t think. The majority of their revenue by way of ads is handled via AngularDart in the web interface and Flutter on mobile devices. They literally put billions of dollars of mission critical stuff into

I like to think of Tailwind as CSS without the C. Everything is now all at the same global namespace and all of the issues that people run into with specificity go away in the process. It’s not my personal choice on how to solve that proble

They are actually pretty active on the WASM GC group because yeah I think that is the exact plan in the future to ship Flutter web apps as WASM rather than JS.

One thing I love about Dart is that they took all of that Java boilerplate and basically killed it while still keeping the same boring predictable nature of Java.
