> Flutter in Kotlin instead of Dart would have killed!

Killed the framework for good, true. No pattern matching, joke destructuring, static delegation, reliance on Gradle (puke).

I don’t understand how Dart still has bad reputation when it leapfrogged this joke of a language long time ago.



Just seems like personal preferences. I've used languages with extensive pattern matching and don't feel like I'm missing out without them. Don't really see the problem with Gradle or Static Delegation either.


Then you won’t understand what made Flutter “click”. I work with Kotlin, Gradle and Compose on a day to day job and it is absolutely dreadful experience. Sure, it beats working with Java… Java 8.


Thanks for explaining your stance not a whit.

I was genuinely interested in your thoughts, "you wouldn't understand it, but trust me" is deeply unhelpful.


It’s more of a “too hard to translate all the frustrations that you encounter in day to day” rather than “trust me, bro”.

Glad you found it useful.
