Hi All,

I am full stack java developer. Recently learned React and was looking for which all languages are competitor for React. I found Flutter. What do you think about career in Flutter and Java etc?

    It is by Google. You don't know when they will shut the project down

    “Languages” don’t compete with React. React is a library. React’s competitors would be Angular, Vue etc. React Native’s competitor is Flutter. Flutter is good to write apps quickly which are of low to low-high complexity. You would be using Dart to write Flutter apps and Dart is very similar to Java and JS so it’s not like you would be learning a completely new language or a new paradigm like Haskell!

    I looked a little into flutter, but I didn't see it as something that would gain a lot of traction. Most of the people writing mobile apps are already familiar with JS for web dev. That ecosystem is pretty big on JS and many of them probably don't want to learn a completely new language to do the same things they can already do with React Native or NativeScript.

    As of September 2021.. Flutter is getting better than React Native.

  • Every two years some new “solution” to do mobile development in a non-native language comes out.

    They don’t gain much traction and die. They suffer from lagging behind the OS and one still needs to know Swift or Kotlin to get the hard stuff done.

    They look good on paper to the business type and web folks that want to try and remain relevant as their platform share of traffic and revenue shrinks.
