dart's always been solid for me but barely see it in big companies tbh - something stopping adoption or is it just stuck in its lane?


It’s only maybe for the past two years now that it’s even been promoted as a general purpose language, which I think was a huge oversight on the Dart team’s behalf. For a long time they would just promote it as a great way to build UIs. What ever drove them to talk about it like that originally is beyond me.


The competition is too strong. At a team or organization level, where neither uses Flutter, why would you use Dart when C# and Kotlin exist? Both have better performance, better UX for doing common application tasks and vastly bigger ecosystems.


Additionally, none of them are tied to a UI framework as survival, had it not been for Flutter and Dart would be long gone.


I think the idea was you can make a UI using one codebase for iOS and Android.
