The big G dropped the ball on Dart 1.0, which was rescued by the AdWords team.

Right now Flutter/Dart looks like an ongoing political war between ChromeOS, Android and Fuchsia.

By the way, Fuchsia is getting Android suport and a new language agnostic UI composition engine, Scenic, so lets see for how long Flutter stays as the Fuchsia official UI toolkit.

Nice point about fushsia.

But isn't the point of a truly cross platform framework just that? So what if fuschia has a different native toolkit. Maybe they are trying to launch a platform specific api that's more bare metal.

I mean Isn't the whole point of flutter is that you take the same app and run it anywhere?

What do you mean with "Fuchsia is getting Android support"?

Android is being ported to work on Fuchsia as well, just like it happened with ChromeOS.
