Our team has a lot of latitude for choosing technology we use and, since at @Cognitive Class we are helping people learn the latest and greatest tech I thought it might be good for us to look in to Dart and Flutter. I thought the team would embrace it without any hesitation. To my surprise they were very reluctant to do so. When I asked why, they said "it is Google so they will probably drop the project in a year or two". Not the answer I was expecting but there is a lesson to be learned here.

It seems unlikely that Google will drop Flutter. It is picking up a ton of momentum, and I think they are smart enough to know they have a winner on their hands.

They are putting serious resources into the developer experience; Flutter for the web has progressed from a POC to a product they intended to promote / support. Flutter is the preferred UI for Fuchsia. While not officially supported, Flutter for the desktop looks super interesting.
