Sorry to ask a very noob question, for which I haven't found a satisfactory answer yet. I am mostly interested in developing desktop applications with pretty UI. From what I know, it appears that Flutter is a framework that requires one to use Dart language. Unless I missing something, learning and switching to a new language just to build UI sounds a bit harsh. Python and Java, for example, have huge ecosystems of libraries, tools, etc. Does one throw all that away, or is there a way to interop Flutter+Dart with other languages? I did find https://github.com/flet-dev/flet which is a stand-alone project, but I'd have expected language bindings for popular languages to be part of the core framework. What am I missing?
There are ways, but it is generally a lot of work, for example there is ClojureDart https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart . Though unusually that sort of thing is normal for Clojure, because it is a hosted language (Clojure -> JVM, ClojureScript -> JS, etc).
