HN Theater has aggregated all Hacker News stories and comments that mention Strange Loop's video """Flutter: How we're building a UI framework for tomorrow at Google" by Eric Seidel".
Youtube Summary
Google ships and maintains hundreds of mobile apps. Most are held to high standards of quality and performance and, in the name of such, are built twice by separate teams and from separate codebases for iOS and Android.

This talk will discuss a new mobile UI toolkit, Flutter, which was was built for quickly developing best-in-class, beautiful applications for both iOS and Android.

In particular, this talk will highlight the architectural choices made when designing Flutter to enable the creation of high quality apps without relying on "native" UI toolkits. Examples include using an modern/emerging language (Dart), choosing to build a novel functional-reactive framework, as well as favoring composition over inheritance in said framework. We will also discuss how these choices combine to achieve developer benefits, such as a sub-second code-change-to-live-on-phone-without-losing-state dev cycle, as well as user benefits, such as easy simultaneous feature releases and highly custom, delightful app experiences.

Listeners will leave with an understanding of a novel system for building mobile apps and how Flutter can accelerate their next project.

Coincidentally I just saw this video by Eric Seidel (the lead of the Flutter team) talking about the stack of Flutter:

The thing I get from this most, is that Google as a company is very smartly investing across multiple approaches to the same problems. By betting on "all the horses" instead of picking one, Google can help each different approach be the best it can be. In this specific case, for example, you could use Flutter or build a PWA using Angular or Polymer, all to build your next great mobile app.

Which approach will turn out to be best? It might matter a lot to a developer using these things, but overall Google can be in the right place regardless, because they have great solutions for both major approaches. At least a couple of different frameworks less libraries for building rich web apps as PWAs, Flutter and ongoing evolution of the native APIs for the native approach, and flutter versus the native APIs in terms of whether it is better to render at the OS level or app level.

(I happened to be finishing up watching this when I saw it appear here is a new submission.)
