The problem with Flutter is that it's a UI framework that relies on a single main thread. If you put something heavy there, you'll get lag. In contrast, other languages like SwiftUI let you easily spawn threads. Flutter dismisses this as outdated and instead promotes an isolated model with completely separate memory... for reasons.

OK good to know, yeah, we even have a whole new concurrency model in Swift which makes offloading things a lot safer and easier than it used to be.
