As someone who has spent some time inside the Windows 10 environment working on UWP applications, I always thought that Xamarin would someday be my goto whenever I have the opportunity to dive into Mobile development. I am comfortable with C# and I have always felt happy writing in XAML.

But looking into Flutter, I think it's undeniable how smart this project truly was. Even if it isn't backed by a popular programming language, since Dart obviously does not fall on that category.

Let’s see if it’s smart 10 years from now. Cross platform toolkits that draw their own widgets tend to have a hard time keeping up longer term and Google isn’t really known for the constance regarding project management.

If they “only” pull another AngularJS -> Angular transition. and it’s already a bad thing. If they abandon it, ouch!

Have you looked at Uno?

C# & XAML UWP layer with Xamarin for mobile. The company behind it has been using for a few years to produce apps and recently open sourced it. I'm intrigued and weighing it against Flutter for my next bit of mobile experimentations.

This thing seems to be a layered cake of leaky abstractions. Flutter is actually the opposite.
