Google told TechCrunch that Flutter will have new updates to share at I/O this year.

    You shouldn’t have ever been recommending dart or flutter.

    Why not?

      I would argue so, because Google has quite a reputation for killing projects: https://killedbygoogle.com

      Especially with a programming language or framework, you don’t want to invest in it, only to find out that it’s going on the chopping block.

      I’m mostly just biased because I do native mobile development but flutter has always seemed like a false economy to me. You’re trying to build cross platform but it’ll take more than 2x as long as building each platform to get the same quality of experience. So either you have a shittier experience or you take even longer than true native dev.

      But I’m obviously very biased here.

          Right but instead of a toy language there’s Kotlin which is already multiplatform.

          I just struggle to see why another language needed to be invented to do this.
