A lot of people speculate that that's why Flutter was written in Dart instead of Kotlin or something else. Google wanted to use a language they already have a lot of investment in, and for some reason didn't pick Go. Which honestly seems odd to me since Go can be compiled all the way down to binaries already, they had to invent that compiler for dart, but whatever. Dart is super cool and I'm looking forward to using it in Flutter's user space.

Dart supports generics, has a good package manager and their devs are open to the history of programming language's design and modern tooling.
