    Flutter uses dart. It’s one of the best ui building frameworks I have used. Not that it is perfect…

      Flutter - the framework - is great. Dart as a language is tolerable - lot of ugly boilerplate, manual codegen, and things you can’t quite express correctly are everywhere, but if you’re not too much of a stickler, Flutter is still worth it (at least until Compose Multiplatform matures - if ever).

        I would say it’s not as good as really great languages like Rust, but it’s much nicer than Python or JavaScript. I would say it’s nicer than Typescript too. Typescript has a better type system but it’s held back by JavaScript.

        Yeah totally agree. I can give it credit for being adapted for better accommodating flutter, but it has extremely many things where it does not come across as modern

        It’s the carcinisation of programming languages. Everything evolves into JavaScript.

        Though let’s be real, even JavaScript evolves into Lisp.
