I'm personally excited about Flutter largely because it seems the preferred development environment for Fuchsia. People will complain that Google kills projects too soon and too often, but I feel like Google has an MO and when you figure it out you can guess which products will live and die.

I think Fuchsia and Flutter are Google's primary likely plans for the future of their consumer platforms. I don't really know why, it's just a feeling.

A lot of it comes from Google planning 10+ years out a lot of the time. Reader was a mistake to kill, but you could see how Google management thought it would not be a widely useful product in the long-term future (though let's repeat, they were wrong).

I think Flutter+Fuchsia has that 10+ year plan to it. I'm on board with Dart because it seems likely to be a major ease on development along with a likely promising future.

Sorry to disapoint you, Flutter is now one option in Fuchsia among others.
