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

    Flutter uses dart. It’s one of the best ui building frameworks I have used. Not that it is perfect…

      Flutter - the framework - is great. Dart as a language is tolerable - lot of ugly boilerplate, manual codegen, and things you can’t quite express correctly are everywhere, but if you’re not too much of a stickler, Flutter is still worth it (at least until Compose Multiplatform matures - if ever).

        I would say it’s not as good as really great languages like Rust, but it’s much nicer than Python or JavaScript. I would say it’s nicer than Typescript too. Typescript has a better type system but it’s held back by JavaScript.

        Yeah totally agree. I can give it credit for being adapted for better accommodating flutter, but it has extremely many things where it does not come across as modern

      I just hate reading it. I wish it looked more like Kotlin and less like JavaScript 😭

        It’s the carcinisation of programming languages. Everything evolves into JavaScript.

        Though let’s be real, even JavaScript evolves into Lisp.
