    Things have improved though last time I checked 4 years ago. Flutter UI kit is definitely more complete and not fragmented as RN UI kits, or even React UI kits. On top of that you have official:

    - firebase

    - supabase

    - revenue cat

    - stripe

    - google maps

    - google ads / analytics

    - grpc

    - webview

    - tensorflow

    just to name a few - there is even more community one e.g: lottie, mobx, just_audio etc.

    interop seems also improved:

    cffi got improved and been out of beta for a while and they also added FFIgen [0] that can generate bindings to C and Rust C

    rust flutter bridge [1] - even though not official is very popular and well maintained. So you can use vast cross-platform crates if you need something more advanced and low latency like for Audio you have CPAL

    There's ffigen, which can be used to generate code that talks to the C API.

    This new mechanism utilizes the fact that Objective-C and Swift code can be exposed as C code based on API bindings. The Dart API wrapper generation tool, ffigen, can create these bindings from API headers.

    I’m also working (slowly) on native Flutter channels:

    But this is really targeted at embedded use cases.

    FWIW I've been working on a native Swift implementation of Flutter channels [1], so I can use Swift for business logic with Sony's embedded Flutter embedder [2]. Probably a niche interest, but I'd prefer to write Swift than Dart, and there's no Objective-C runtime on Linux (so I can't use the default Darwin embedder).
