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.
Dart's single purpose was supposed to be a JS successor for browsers.
I can understand trepidation about committing to a sibling of Google Reader, but I'm also glad Dart is getting a second shake. It's very much a general-purpose language.
I personally enjoy writing Dart a lot more than Go. It really added to my experience learning and working with Flutter.
Totally get you but it’s open source isn’t it? I don’t think it’ll just die randomly. Especially considering Google uses it themselves
Just being open source doesn't guarantee a project's survival. If Google were to abandon it the most likely outcome would be a community fork that gets 100th of the development manpower it gets now, and most developers would abandon the platform leading to it's effective death.
But I also think it's unlikely Google will abandon it. It's actually quite good and quite popular now.
That's never stopped them before.
To put better comical effect to that line, you can add a separate hyperlink to each word of the sentence, each leading to a separate article of one of the projects abandoned by Google.
Even better if all of them were widely used ones, affirming your point.
My first thought was: "I didn't know that flutter is developed by mozilla"
Haha touché, two peas in a pod.
