Yesterday we open-sourced https://t.co/rw9dEz44xj and https://t.co/54LqsLIMIg. It's an early preview, be gentle with it :) Anyone wants to ask me about it in person I'll be at #fluttervikings.

Liquid Glass is a design cancer. It consumes and overwhelms everything it touches by adding intense distortions, drop shadows, lighting effects, and unnatural spacing to controls and UI in ways that make them harder to see and understand. It is pretty, and seductive, but it

A solution to a problem that should have not existed in the first place. "Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things." - seems to me that this should have been there, with the 999 other ones, if only there was anyone left at @apple who still knows how to do that.

So it looks like official kotlin language server is actually happening? I'm wondering if firebase studio being vscode based has anything to do with that...

Here me out: Flutter but without the flutter part. Basically just dart sdk + minimal code to run root isolate on platform thread. Tooling to build and run on all platforms (JIT/AOT, just like Flutter). Native assets support. Want UI? Make your own dart package + FFI.

discouragingly large. I'd need to reimplement parts of flutter tool to even get the basic build working. And I don't even want to think about IDE support. This is very different than most of other languages where UI framework is just a framework and not this huge special thing.

Of of the most frustrating thing about dart/Flutter is the amount of special casing. I'm playing with the idea of reimplementing something like dart:ui but with much more ffi + a very simplified framework on top of it, but the amount of tooling this would require is...

Is anyone using source-kit LSP for anything serious? I thought dart analyzer was slow, but compared to source-kit it flies. This really makes me appreciate rust-analyzer and clangd.

I can't decide whether NativeCallable.isolateLocal turning @dart_lang closure into standalone C function pointer (no data, no nothing) feels magical or just plain wrong.

Yeah, I voted for Trump but I never thought he’d be so foolish to actually move forward with 25% tariffs given the well-documented history of how the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 triggered the onset of the Great Depression as global trade flows dried up.

By far the worst part on working on Flutter is having to use google docs to write and discuss design documents.

What are you guys doing with all the time saved by not having to type trailing comma when writing dart code?
