Side story...

I wish you guys hadn't killed Apportable. It was such an awesome product! From what I could gather, Google acquihired the Apportable team, which then pivoted to Flutter.

For anyone that doesn't know, Apportable was an Obj-C to native Android compiler. It bypassed the JVM, compiling directly to the native architecture, and actually ran faster than comparable Java apps. As a compromise, it also had a Java bridging interface to hook into Android APIs. It was mainly targeted at games which used Cocos2D, but a UIKit bridge was in the works...

When I first heard about Apportable, I was incredibly wary of their claim, but it worked like absolute magic. I was able to successfully port several Cocos2D apps directly to Android with almost no intervention.

Anyway, assuming the core team is still intact, if there is anyone that can pull off what Flutter is claiming to do, it's these folks.
