I need someone to convince me that Dart is worth the switch and that it is safe for long terms investment. Having said that I geniunely tried Dart about 2 years ago. The plan was to try it for a small/admin app and then migrate the main app to Dart as well. Unfortunately there were issues with E2E testing; if I remember there was no Karma-like framework and on top of that the app froze several times on safari mobile. So at that time it was risky and it clearly had some technical issues. Now we know that the VM won't get into Chrome and it seems the new technologies(WASM, JS upgrades) put Dart in a difficult position. Is there any reference/complex mobile webapp 100% Dart powered?

It seems they ended-up with an native iOS app and provide only some very basic information on the web version. Quite disappointing.

maybe for the mobile version (flutter is early stage, so i didn't expect Google to use Dart there [https://flutter.io/]. The last mobile webapp i worked on was just replaced with a native version which runs smoother, so i guess native development beats webdev at the moment). How about with the web version for desktop? The announcement showed advanced ui-elements: [https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/GRV687LnnWpFCpPcQ6vxjd_kEQ...] So a primitiv result there would indeed be a disappointment. It might still be work in progress. I guess they started 4 month ago with the rewrite?!
