As you probably know, recently Amazon held their AWS re:Invent 2018 conference, Microsoft held their Connect(); 2018 event and Google held Flutter ...

Also worth mentioning that Flutter code can now compile for various environments. This includes the web under what they call the Hummingbird project.
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 👀
Dart is returning strong. Success stories are usually preceded by a boat-load of failures.
This is exciting!
What’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:
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.
Ah interesting!
I’m definitely checking out that article. Thanks for the tldr 🙂
Would you characterize this as their attempt of building an alternative to React Native?
Yes/No. RN right now is decreasingly popular. If they ever surpass the new RN architecture, I wouldn't be surprised as Flutter is three step ahead to REACT.
I would characterise this as an attempt at presenting another option on the market for cross-platform development. Kinda makes sense since Dart can already compile to JavaScript since day 1.
Absolutely
Such a great summary :D
Thanks! There's much more, I had to select my favorites :D Maybe you're interested in the new managed time series database AWS launched: aws.amazon.com/timestream/ (quite expensive though)
I spotted that in the long, long list of releases that came out of re:Invent. The future is definitely serverless and streaming in the AWS world. Interesting times ahead :)
