I don’t have much to say, only that I expected flutter to be a bloated fragile abstraction on top of different native GUI APIs, but no.

It’s quite fast, relatively easy to develop and it just works.

I’m working on a desktop app that needs a high-perf rust impl, and (for now) flutter looks like a much better choice than tauri.

    Just being open source doesn’t guarantee a project’s survival. If Google were to abandon it the most likely outcome would be a community fork that gets 100th of the development manpower it gets now, and most developers would abandon the platform leading to it’s effective death.

    But I also think it’s unlikely Google will abandon it. It’s actually quite good and quite popular now.

        To put better comical effect to that line, you can add a separate hyperlink to each word of the sentence, each leading to a separate article of one of the projects abandoned by Google.

        Even better if all of them were widely used ones, affirming your point.
