Stevey's Tech Talk e21: The rise of Flutter
Listen now
Description
In this episode I talk for way too long about how Flutter is going to take over the entire world of UI programming, from web pages to mobile apps to desktop apps. I didn't do a dry run on this video, and learned my lesson the hard way. I had to do 12+ hours of editing to get it down to something reasonable, and also had to remove about 500 umms and ahhs.  And it's still not great. Next time I will do a dry run! One point I didn't make very well is that my Flutter game client, written by a contributor, took about 6 weeks, which is 1/4 of the time it usually takes me to write a new client -- but if I account for the time required for learn the target framework, then it's really only about 2x as productive as the other frameworks, not 4x. But that's still pretty damn cool. And it's only about half as much code.
