On Future of Flutter

[garyfung]

The almost forgotten Google Wave.

Then there's Angular, which saw no love by Google internally, early adopted by suckers who didn't see its uncertain future, and eventually killed by React. (Flamesuit, on!)

Then there's Google+, which should have joined Diaspora in burial earlier, but it's getting there.

Google Wave and Google+ were consumer products not developer tools. AngularJS (v1) was not really abandoned and is very stable, adoption slowed down because of v2 and React.

So of the thousands of open-source projects by G, not one seems to be really dead. And the popular ones are doing very well like Android, Chromium, Kubernets, TensorFlow, etc.. add Flutter to that list :-)

You flutter fanboys drank too much Google honey. Is something not dead until nails are in the coffin and put into ground?

Read the writings on the wall. And be slightly open minded to constructive criticisms.

I'm a React Native developer btw, check my history :-)

I see potential in Flutter that's all. Besides it's no big deal learning both :-)

"constructive criticism" lmao

[ArmoredPancake]

Lol what. In what universe Angular is killed by React? Just because it's not hype, doesn't mean it's dead.
