> Plus, even Fuchsia is not so focused on Flutter anylonger. Android userspace is being ported to Fuchsia, and now they have a UI Framework agnostic layer, Scenic, with examples in C++ and Rust.

I highly doubt that. See here https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/topaz/+/bd4464d6b8d586d74b6...

Yes, Flutter is still there. I didn't say it was removed, only that it is being downgraded to one among many options.

I don't think scenic is written in Rust. A big chunk of the source code in the topaz layer (the view layer) is still written in dart. With that said, many were actually surprised when it was revealed that ermine (the new fuchsia shell) was written in dart/Flutter [1] since earlier code for it was in Rust [2]. Guess that didn't pan out.
