I've heard great things about Flutter, and Flutter 2 sounds very interesting. However, I don't trust Google not to get bored and change directions, and so I won't invest my time until Flutter is strategically important to their business.
That's a good call, although if it becomes widely used outside of google, won't it be possible for a community to just fork it when google loses interest?
Hahaha, that was before my time, so no idea. But I was just guessing based on flutter being open source. Guess taking over a huge codebase from an entirely different team who was being paid for it full time isn't feasible even in the slightest?
I had this conversation with a support engineer for Google Cloud one time. I mentioned that Google has a long history of dumping products that people rely on and he got really annoyed, as if that wasn't true. I don't know if they fully appreciate that they have a reputation for this.
