>The message I'm getting from Google is that flutter is the future and will get more support eventually.

Google has said the same thing for tons of things, and then stop caring for them and supporting them.

Including Dart as a JS alternative, the very same technology now relegated to Flutter backend.

Right. Google has a long history of scrapping major projects the moment it becomes convenient, even products that have millions of active users (Reader, Wave, Plus....).

I would think long and hard before betting my company on any Google product.

Are there many third-party contributors to flutter? If so, that would make me feel a little more confident. If it's all (or almost all) Google staff, yeah... no. Wouldn't go there.

Ubuntu is doing work on desktop flutter, I recall hearing that they are working on hooking up flutter to accessibility bit of ubuntu.

tidbit - there is early support to build linux flutter apps on the raspberry pi. Would be good if android team offered arm builds of their tools, then it would be possible to build for android on the pi.

I still miss Google Inbox, such a great product. They just killed it for no good reason. Really sad.
