flutter_rust_bridge VS Flutter

Use some sort of executable file, like webassembly. I've seen extism which is really cool. Though theres no dart port for it or a dart package, i think something could be done via flutter_rust_brige. This will allow people to use the languages supported via extism (js, go, rust, zig, cpp etc) to their full potential and have the language's ecosystem available and they can just compile the plugin to a wasm file and use it in the app. Downsides would be ig using that rust package in dart since flutter_rust_bridge does have some amount of complexity. And that for example, two plugins both written in say for example js, depend on some sort of http package, and both plugins load the same package twice in their respective wasm files. ig plugin files would be more larger in the end.

Not a Flutter Dev, but have you tried 'flutter_rust_bridge' [0]. Seems provide some interop between flutter and rust and looks like a popular and active project. I'm native mobile dev and just curious about this kind of interop myself. If it's seamless then looks like good balance to do mobile front-end in flutter and mobile backend in rust.

This template is primarily built using the flutter_rust_bridge library. It also incorporates several popular packages and modifications into the default Flutter template, ensuring optimal development process. It has been designed with future scalability and performance in mind.

If you want example code, the flutter_rust_bridge uses a webworker pool with shared memory on the web to multithread the execution.

There's also the thing that flutter_rust_bridge is currently broken for web development. I have a PR open, but it's running into weird issues with the CI and so can't be merged.

For reference, https://github.com/fzyzcjy/flutter_rust_bridge. And dart is a really nice language too, my only real gripe is that I'm no longer used to [type] [variable] over [variable]: [type]

It appears that this is indeed what was happening. The issue has now been fixed in the template.

Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O), and I think other than requiring users to work in Dart, it is probably one of the most powerful ways to do cross-platform UI today.

Worth noting that their original GPU backend was Skia, and now they are retooling around Flutter GPU (Impeller)[0], which is kind of designed similarly as an abstract rendering interface over platform-specific GPU APIs.

If you are considering Electron/React then I would suggest adding Flutter to your list of technologies to consider. It uses Dart (a language similar to C#) and has a lot going for it… relatively quick to get up to speed with, fantastic developer experience (e.g., hot reload, great IDE support, good development tools) and very strong cross-platform support: it generates native iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux executables. Check it out: https://flutter.dev/

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

> There is actually a great issue thread on the Flutter GitHub that explains exactly why other solutions do not work correctly when compared to hooks [0]

Interesting. I assume you are referring to this comment in particular -> https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/51752#issuecomment... ?
