Well , to be fair Go is becoming a major server side language and I don't see Google abandoning it any time soon.

That being said , Dart is basically on "life support" has of now , there is no SDK what so ever beside Google + Firebase , and I haven't heard anything from AWS / Azure or others vendors to support Dart + Flutter.

I feel like everyone is basically waiting for the language to take off to actually invest in it.

I'm afraid it will end up like Xamarin , a niche tech that will eventually die out because very little people accept the ecosystem that is forced on them by using the framework.

Xamarin is not dead and being actively developed. It just doesn't intersect with the startup scene because of its enterprise roots.

You don’t need more AWS support really. You can use any language that technology that AWS supports as the backend for a flutter app.

Not if you want to use Lambda. You could write your own wrapper for the AWS API's for other use cases, but you could also repeatedly hit your head with a hammer.

I wouldn’t focus my medium term career prospects on Xamarin, but if I could quickly ramp up and do mobile development using it, I would.
