Dart/Flutter imo is basically a better React Native.

It doesn't have 30 years of JavaScript legacy code.

The problem is Google cut significant funding to Flutter, it's not clear if it'll be supported for much longer.

I've built several toy apps in flutter for myself and friends. I like Flutter. But Google's lack of commitment is concerning.

Dart itself feels like a safer Typescript. The tooling is just better.

Just to be clear, Google slashed teams across their entire organization, not just the Flutter / Dart team. So it wasn't like Google targeted the Flutter / Dart project

I had similar feelings. When looking this up, it showed that Google continues to actively develop and invest in Flutter, with regular updates, new features, and performance improvements being released for both Flutter and the Dart language.

The official Flutter roadmap has been updated through 2025

I understand that, I still don't know if I trust Google here.

To be fair, I can get things done much faster in flutter than in other frameworks.

I did build a small Kotlin project though, I might switch to Kotlin Multiplatform if something happens with Flutter.

If Flutter didn't exist would Dart be worth looking into? ATM It sounds like Dart w/Flutter) is good for "making native apps" and that maybe doesn't excel outside that niche?

I mostly use it in a non Flutter context and yes, incredibly strong recommendation from me there too. It’s my new default language for the past few years for a reason.
