I'm not bothered at ";". I do know python/ruby doesnt need ";", Javascript and kotlin have optional ";". Dart/Java/C++/C require ";". the udacity course for flutter is like trash for some reason. Its better to be familiar when you're building your own app as you progress. Look up to any tutorials on youtube(udemy might be good). It helped me a lot unlike the documentation.

I've only read the documentation for the source code implementation.(Source code is also available in the tooling. Just hover the syntax and it will highlight the code and example).

Also,

DON'T USE FLUTTER FOR BUILDING APPS THAT REQUIRES NATIVE APIS LIKE IoT, NOTIFICATION, BLUETOOTH.

You'll end up learning Kotlin/Java and Swift/Objective C in the end(Same as any cross-platform like RN and NativeScript). Flutter only gives UI FRAMEWORK and Platform Channels(this communicates to android/ios apis).

Flutter is good and worth to try, Its not a Toy for building apps and abandon it. Many companies have invested and succeed. Fuchsia uses Flutter too(next 5 years).

Flutter hits 1.0 in December 2018.

Every framework has its ups and downs. But using it that fits for the job matters most.

Noticed, thank you. That's always helpful.

Yes I agree. I think it's a solid tech, they just need to improve the documentation. Dart and Skia are super fast!
