Contrary to what the article says ("but Google gave up on the project before a real product was launched"), I think Flutter work continues and adoption is increasing

[serial_dev]

The article (as I read it) says that Google gave up on the new operating system (where Flutter would have been the default UI toolkit).

I’m not sure if Google actually already gave up on Fuchsia, I’d be surprised if the work actually stopped, but it’s clear now that it will not be a panacea and if it will ever get released and gets some traction, it’s still like a decade away from becoming a major OS.

They laid off most of the people on the Fuchsia team so it isn't getting as much work, but Fuchsia is used on their nest stuff iirc

I don't really want Dart tbh

I dislike Dart, but it does work really well for Flutter. I think if you treat it as a Flutter DSL it's easier to put up with.

One of my former coworkers / dev friend is primarly a Flutter dev, and he's about to give up on it because finding Flutter jobs has become a pain.
