Flutter has memory leaks and a small community. I'll wait a few years first.

The community seems to be growing very fast (the benefit of having Google behind it), have you used it much?

Where are memory leaks likely to occur?

It's gotten a lot better, already. The team is growing and for iOS, there's a metal renderer on the horizon which should reduce memory usage by a lot.

I’ve used flutter a bit, I made a prototype and it was really intuitive. I got a bit stuck with state management though, it seemed overly complex to get some state shared across the app.

How has your experience been?

I have developed Android apps for more than 3 years with kotlin and java. But honestly flutter development is much more pleasant. Flutter community is really focused to solve the problems that exists in native Android. And to be able to create awesome, performant ui that will look the same across both IOS and Android is a great benefit. It's the only platform that can deliver on the promise of write once, run everywhere

That’s interesting to hear, coming from React I found flutter instantly accessible. I was able to create complex and performant UI with animations really easily. I think I’d have to spend a bit more time learning how to properly manage state though.
