It’s also just not actually true though. It’s not considered good practice to bundle your web components when publishing to npm for this exact reason. That’s something that should happen inside the final app itself where the components get

It would be cool if you could apply even the most basic reading comprehension here where it says there was zero change in team size and stop spreading nonsense.

That’s not actually correct I don’t know where you got that from. This is from this year and was built on top of a wider rewrite of their JS interop using new language features to make it essentially a zero cost abstraction. Dart has had br

They dropped that “client side” framing a while back thankfully. It’s considered a general purpose language at this point.

I don’t know if you actually read the article or not but just to be clear that was not the argument that was made. It’s not just “not new” it’s considered to be actively worse than all of its peers in terms of things like performance and co

Flutter overtook RN a while back in terms of popularity in a few different metrics if I recall correctly. I forget the specifics but something from GitHub and StackOverflow I think. Regardless of the specifics I don’t think the narrative is

Just as an FYI your information is a bit out of date. They rewrote their entire graphics pipeline a while back to solve exactly this. This is what it looks like now in terms of performance if you want a demo https://flutter.gskin

I’m actively trying to move more and more of my stuff into Dart these days it’s actually an amazing language to work with.

While that really was a big issue, that hasn’t been true for a while now.

This is why you are comparing it against every other site in the same situation. At the end of the day based on the data it’s entirely fair to say Next is not a framework known for producing anything other than substantially below average o

Strong disagree on this one. We are talking about the difference between theoretical performance (what you COULD do) vs performance in reality (this is a dataset that measures all the various nextjs websites across the web and then compares

For all of its marketing hype, Next is actually kind of dogshit when it comes to performance especially compared to something like Astro https://calendar.perfplanet.com/2022/mobile-performance-of-n...

You made an argument saying that even Google won’t use it for cross platform. I have some context as to why it’s both a wrong and misleading statement. When it came to the biggest money maker of the entire business this is what they picked.

Ads is all flutter on mobile and Dart on the web. Fuchsia is an OS that is also using Flutter for their entire UI layer. I think there’s more a case of there isn’t an argument for doing but rewrites just because Flutter is now a thing but i

Also worth keeping in mind some of the cross language extension points in Dart. Compiles to Wasm and can work with other compile to wasm languages. Has quite good support for C, C++, JS, Swift, Java and Rust interop where they have tools th

Dart is actually hands down one of the most productive languages out there right now in terms of ergonomics. It’s still a tiny language ecosystem at the moment but there are already a lot of happy paths that will get you to an incredibly hi

I don’t know if even that was actually true? As far as I know the moment they introduced canvas as a rendering target they also produced a DOM structure along side it to capture the accessibility tree as they were still waiting on a more na

It’s the 50% drop in revenue with no viable path back combined with the huge brand damage he has done that is causing people to say it’s dying. The only question left at this point is how soon.

It’s correct in the same way Joe Rogan talking about anything other than MMA or comedy feels correct to some people. It’s great at feeling like you’ve said something clever but also makes it clear you haven’t actually thought about the topi

There are actually a bunch of really compelling strategic level national security style reasons to come to the same conclusion, it’s not purely just a consumer rights issue.
