Me, doing ui design: 'hm, i feel like jumping into machine learning right now'

Me, writing a ml chatbot: 'but what if i extend flutter with my old custom android components'

Me, porting java components to dart: 'hold on, p5js has vectors, i could make a physical simulation'

Me to me: 'why are you like this'

Been there done those. Still doing.

Maybe I live under a rock, but I just found flutter today. I'm really excited about it and I can't wait to get home and try it out. What's it like? How better than Java? What things have you made with it? Is it easier? Oh good, sorry for my large question queue. 😅

@Gradle flutter is not a language, it is a framework which uses dart language. I don't have any experience with flutter btw.

Okay, I know. I just can't write down what I think. 😂 Flutter is written in Dart, yeah. Thank you by the way and sorry.

@gradle it just came out, kinda similar to react native but oop and strongly typed, its fun to use but lacks good documentation, ty google

Oh, come on. Everytime I run "flutter doctor" I get into a loop. It sais: "Unable to 'pub upgrade' flutter tool." I have no idea what to do. Reading issues on GitHub, but no success.

I'm in love with flutter and specially flutter doctor. It just works!

@Wack How? I followed every step and I couldn't got it work. First the pub upgrade problem. Then it doesn't find the SDK. After that I met with a gradle build error. I gave up. Maybe I try to reinstall and do it all over again on the weekend.

I have no idea, I installed IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio on my Ubuntu machine and then basically just run flutter doctor, which took care about every thing...

Flutter is great.. to wait for the first release. I tried to build something very basic with it, but the experience was awful.

Getting Flutter installed was a pain and a breeze at the same time. Installing it is really easy and Flutter doctor is great, but fixing the problems it diagnoses can make you feel helpless.

Flutter support in my favourite IDE was terrible. Errors and crashes on all kinds of actions.

Conclusion: too much hassle for private projects and very impractical for professional development.

Bottom line: if you can walk the happy path (get it installed and program everything the hard way (without other tools than some syntax highlighting)), it's great. However, if you need help or look for documentation: you might as well develop your own framework.
