I'm no Google apologist, but Flutter really does seem to be something special.

I've worked with a few other "write once, run anywhere" frameworks before, and Flutter is by far better. Dart is C# with the flexibility of JavaScript, Flutter's package management is like NPM but good, ant hot reloading saves a ton of time (when it works, at least).

I wasn't sold on view-as-code at first, but it does start to make sense after you use it for a bit, and the type protection you get is a bonus.

So yeah, I wouldn't discount Carmine's opinion right away. The hype is somewhat valid, IMO.
