I wouldn't used the hell out of this the last time I was beginning a GitHub action.

I've debugged GitHub actions before and it's a pita. I'd have used the hell out of this!

Dart as a platform provided the unique ability to target both JIT at development-time to enable sub-second hot reload and AOT for release apps, providing native performance when it comes to scrolling, animation, etc.

We find that most developers want their apps to look and feel the same on multiple platforms, with some relatively minor tweaks. Flutter itself handles many platform specifics automatically, e.g. scrolling physics, adding scrollbars, button press effects, etc.

Flutter provides its own widget implementations and does not rely on those provided by the underlying OS. This gives us the ability to give you complete control over scrolling, animation, theming, etc. while still running at native speeds across multiple platforms.

It depends on your definition of optimal. If you optimize for time, then pressing each button one at a time until a Coke comes out. Plus it doesn't take any brain cells so I can get back to coding quicker. : )

Actually, PMs love open, honest feedback. Keep it coming!

Flutter 2 contains desktop support at the beta level on both the beta channel and the stable channel behind a config flag.

Wow. You have a great style.

Dart does have it's own compiler that targets the native instruction set for supported platforms, e.g. 32-bit and 64-bit ARM for Android and iOS, x86 for Windows and macOS, etc. We're experimenting with bitcode in case Apple decides in the future that they're rather have iOS and/or macOS apps be submitted that way instead of ARM or x86, as they already have for tvOS and watchOS.

As one concrete use case, you could use Dart FFI to call Win32 APIs that implement Flutter plugins that support Windows. You should have network access via wifi w/o any trouble today but we do have work to do to support Bluetooth better.

If you're writing Dart targeting Flutter for web (flutter.dev/web) you are able to make calls into JavaScript/TypeScript.

Thanks for the input!
