Google Flutter - What could be their reason for choosing Dart (over Kotlin)

Multiplatform

Sure, I understand what you mean. But for smaller apps, it’s still a considerable difference.

Of course, it’s not a big deal today, but one of my last mobile projects has size (< 1 MB) as a requirement due to distribution limitations - distributed via Play Store/App Store, but on places with very poor aggregated connection. The app was small and data was downloaded from a local proxy.

Also, for single-purpose utilities, Flutter may be too heavy.

That’s exactly what I am looking for but I am choosing Flutter because I don’t see the light for that future yet.
I wish Jetpack Compose uses the same architecture as Flutter: compile to native+js and use Skia for rendering UI on all platforms (android, ios, windows, linux, mac and web).

And axing things that stick as well.
