I don't have much to say, only that I expected flutter to be a bloated fragile abstraction on top of different native GUI APIs, but no.

It's quite fast, relatively easy to develop and it just works.

I'm working on a desktop app that needs a high-perf rust impl, and (for now) flutter looks like a much better choice than tauri.

It's a real shame. Great framework but based on a single purpose language by a company known to drop projects on a whim. I loved to play with it, but I can't imagine sinking a lot of dev hours into it, knowing it could just disappear.

My first thought was: "I didn't know that flutter is developed by mozilla"
