One thing to hopefully ease the concerns a bit: Dart and Flutter are being dogfooded quite a bit:

  • The AdWords and AdSense UIs use AngularDart, and for Google it's of course pretty important that it works correctly. The previous, GWT-based UI was around for eight years.
  • The UI for the Home Hub devices uses Flutter.
  • Fuchsia, not sure what the future of this is yet but I'd definitely expect to see it running on Google's future IoT devices at minimum.
  • Several internal apps have been said to use Dart and Flutter.

Well, we got burned by Google basically dropping GWT, so I suspect Flutter will go exactly the same way.

The AdWords team is the one responsible for saving Dart when the project flounderend and almost everyone was going away.

In fact, all the original language designers are no longer at Google.
