There's Desktop, IoT, And many more surprises to come.

A lot of desktop embedding such as google's own desktop-embedding and go-flutter-desktop-embedding(pretty much the same). I was also shocked at the presentation powered by Flutter engine itself, I thought it was some Google Slides or something.

I'm glad I am now in the Dart side. Never ever be a dead horse project now fellas!

Yup, the presentation was awesome. Glad I was there to witness with my own eyes ๐Ÿ‘€

Dart is returning strong. Success stories are usually preceded by a boat-load of failures.

This is exciting!

Whatโ€™s the story for Dart running natively ever? Would this be a WebAssembly thing at this point?

So from the article I linked to, they are currently exploring these approaches:

  • HTML+CSS+Canvas
  • CSS Paint API

This is due to their strong support across browsers. No mention of WASM. I can only hope they're secretly looking into it because till yesterday, I had no clue that they got Flutter already compiling for the web.
