Using the same language on Android and iOS will be a huge advantage, once the framework ready to production.

  Anyone can share his experiences using Dart for mobile?

    You can have a look at the flutter demo app. I only tested the Android version and it is still extremely early. Very basic samples that don't run very well and implement Material elements in an uncanny valley kind of way compared to the existing web & mobiles implementations. Not to mention that Android with Java/Kotlin has a truckload of tooling that Dart would have to replace.

      And Flutter has no support for accessibility or localization yet. I think it takes a lot of hubris to implement a new cross-platform widget set that attempts to compete with the native widgets these days.

        yeah, it is ambitious to say the least. There are several parts of the android framework that I would like to see rewritten from scratch (activity as a god object, love of inheritance everywhere in the framework classes, weak UI/animation framework, etc) but it is also a mature code base with tons of features, tools & open source libraries built around it.
