That is something I'm trying to change https://hydro-sdk.io/

https://hydro-sdk.io/ enables this approach as well.

Have you looked at https://hydro-sdk.io/ ?
What was your solution to writing out your parsed Lua AST?
SVG in Flutter still leaves a lot to be desired. We've ended up building a subset of SVG that can be composed using const code that fills some of the missing gaps in packages like flutter_svg.

Over the air updates are currently a "rest of the owl" situation for users.

First party support for hosting and over the air updates is coming before the end of the year.

Very early days still but support for C# is on the roadmap https://hydro-sdk.io/

Very early days and not quite "Flutter in C#" but support for C# is on the roadmap https://hydro-sdk.io/
This is really cool!

Why Lua 5.1 and not 5.2 or 5.3? What does the marshalling story between Lua and the builtin Go modules look like? What would it take to add more builtins or richer marshalling?

I love seeing other Lua implementations.

Are you concerned about being locked into Dart as a developer?

Sparse-checkouts are amazing. I wrote some small tools that use dependency information in Flutter packages to drive a sparse-checkout. We use it at $dayjob now.

We're pretty bought into Flutter. No cross platform toolkit is perfect but Flutter is miles ahead of everything else. For a not very scientific analysis: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...
Thanks for the link! I actually haven't seen that project before.

As far as I can tell, starflut appears to offer basic script running with pass through of primitive types from Dart -> guest languages.

Hydro-SDK strives to offer far deeper integration between Dart -> guest languages up to and including extending from Dart classes in guest languages, and passing instances seamlessly back and forth with little overhead.

Issues with/dislike of Dart is a pretty common refrain. This project is still very early days but the intent is to bring Flutter into Typescript https://github.com/chgibb/hydro-sdk

Eventually I hope to bring Flutter to C#, Haxe, and (maybe stretching it) eventually Kotlin, Java and Scala.

We're using Lua as a base for bringing Flutter into other languages https://github.com/chgibb/hydro-sdk
Re:Understanding null safety in Dart on Saturday July 25, 2020 @09:12PM (#23953656)
Using Typescript for Flutter is the intent behind this project https://github.com/chgibb/hydro-sdk

Though, note I am the author.
