[Flutter Eng. Dir here]

The initial GPay Flutter release definitely had some performance rough spots. We've learned a lot from working with that team since release and have made resulting changes in both Flutter and the app code.

GPay hasn't released since December last I checked, but I expect the next release should perform better on both iOS and Android and we will be continuing to work with them closely over the coming months.

How is this still such a problem in the modern era where major software is released that becomes unusably slow on multi-core cutting edge phones?

just an assumption, but probably because even though it comes from the same company, even on android flutter is not a first-class citizen...?

iow, maybe they dont have access to all the internal implementations that give the native toolkit higher performance...

can anyone clarify that?

Flutter is way more closer to native than react will ever be

What are you talking about Flutter runs butter smooth on most smartphones at 60fps, far better than what react-native and other half assed solutions on the market.

go ahead and take time to downvote my comments. do you boo

I just wanted to commend you guys on Flutter. I've put off Android/React Native for almost a decade because of how clunky it was and I feel like Flutter finally gets the pieces right.

It is refreshing to be able to start development quickly without worrying about tooling (react-native), CI, etc.

Also I feel like Dart is perfect. It's a joy to use, I feel like this is the future. It's not es6 and it's not Java either.
