Flutter is Alive & will stay hopefully ❤️ Thanks for the explanation!

As of right now I see videos planned to be released for Flutter from Google IO on May 14th so I hope that means they are sticking with Flutter long term. It is always upsetting to see layoffs from a company that is reporting billions in profits each quarter. The salaries will not even make a fraction of a dent. I'm sure these are very dedicated workers too that just had their lives impacted.

IDX is a web-based code editor being developed by Google, which is currently in development phase. Having been granted early access to it, I have observed that hundreds of new features tailored specifically for Flutter development are added to it on a weekly basis. so, I don't think there is any chances of dying flutter in nearby years.

it was a major layoffs for Gemini's team and with that they also cleaned Flutter's internal team. So it doesn't mean that they are stopping AI development, Gemini or Flutter. They did the same with the Bard team and they came with the Gemini. Now maybe something better can come in Flutter also.

Google's I/O is next Tuesday. They will clarify Flutter's future plan, but I don't think there's anything to worry about because as you said, there's a huge community behind it.

Flutter is definitely here for the long haul! With many developers expressing frustration with JavaScript for mobile and web development, the idea of building a website without the complexity of numerous JS packages is truly refreshing. Thanks to Flutter web, driven by WebAssembly, surpassing JS is becoming a reality. Google's upcoming transition from the insecure Android to Fuchsia OS, where Dart is the primary programming language, signals a significant shift. I believe in the next five years, Dart will emerge as the main language for both web and mobile development.

Google is still hosting Flutter conferences so I think it's still going strong.

Thanks for the explanation. This was a big fud going on in the market.

No technology will die, as industry still need C/C++, php developers in 2024. I think going forward Google team will give more focus on KMP/Compose Multiplatform. Main reason behind here is the Migration, I'm assuming that the Adoption of flutter by the industry is still less as Google had thought/projected before. And that's why they are now betting to KMP/Compose Multiplatform. But as it is correctly mentioned in the video that Flutter won't die in future.

What’s the fuss all about? They don’t update C++ every month and nobody says anything. And what’s the alternative? Java from Oracle?

Google i/o event 2024...flutter update launched. ❤

[somnathdas]

After moved from flutter to react native I realised that why I used much effort for simple things on flutter that gives update every two months but don't have a easy, official, effective state management.

Flutter is amazing, If every single programmer use at least once flutter they gonna love it

To cut the cost, it's best way to reduce the salary of CEO. It would not impact too much for google financially. Why always the working class suffers the most while management group of company keeps deciding the shitts who, not mostly in implementing the tech.😮

[amannafiz]

I Was worried if flutter was laying off employes

[psychology]

i have one doubt a in my mind if a lots of application build in flutter why company remove flutter to react native..

Even the flutter team made it clear that the layoffs has nothing to do with Flutter
