Does Flutter overtake native software like Java/Kotlin?
Personally, I think Flutter has made its debut in the cross-platform app development quite fiercely and is here to stay. But in my opinion, even though Flutter is packed with features, it is far from being a perfect software for application development. It is void of features such as OpenGL, Maps, Video support and Accessibility support. It also makes for larger apps sizes than native app development languages like Java. Besides this, we here at Algoocean prefer to use Flutter and Dart for app development as its deliverables are enjoyed by our clients as well.
Since the year 2018, Flutter has been the go-to cross-platform tool for app development in various commercial industries. It offers the end products some of the best animation and UI elements in the market. The only drawback is the scarcity of developers, since flutter has been around for not more than 3 years. But if you manage to find yourself a solid team of Flutter devs, you’ll be developing apps in half the time, than you did using native technology.
Honestly, the reason Flutter is a wonderful choice in creating these apps is because we know that Google has made it keeping Fuchsia OS in mind. With Fuchsia as a new operating system there is also a rise in the migration of app developers to using flutter to create their new apps as creating views and animations is extremely easy and not to forget, faster. Although, Flutter and Dart are still in its early stages and cannot be compared to Java/Kotlin as they have had time to mature into proficient app development languages. In time, Flutter can become the go-to for app development in the near distant future. But that's just me. I’d be delighted to hear your thoughts on this particular topic.
