    I spent thr last 10 minutes reading the flutter docs, and I have no fucking idea what it is, what language it is written in, or generally anything useful about it. I think we’ll be fine.

    Also, Google’s contributions to Python are mostly obsolete. optparse was replaced by argparse which is .mostly replaced by click. Yapf was never successful and black has taken a commanding lead. Python will be just fine.

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

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

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

        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).

          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 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.

      If you couldn’t figure out what flutter is in 10 minutes that reflects poorly on you much more than anything else.

      Flutter is a UX/UI framework for Dart programming language. Dart is a statically typed (optionally dynamic possible), completely type safe, soundly null-safe compiled programming language. It can compile to JS to run on the web, or compile to x86_64 or Arm assembly to run on hardware.

      Combining Dart, which is honestly an awesome but underrated language with Flutter which is a declarative UI framework, I have found a new love for app development. It’s very pleasant.

      And now I get shot in the dick with this news…
