Flutter: How we're building UI framework for tomorrow at Google [video]

The thing I get from this most, is that Google as a company is very smartly investing across multiple approaches to the same problems. By betting on "all the horses" instead of picking one, Google can help each different approach be the best it can be. In this specific case, for example, you could use Flutter or build a PWA using Angular or Polymer, all to build your next great mobile app.

Which approach will turn out to be best? It might matter a lot to a developer using these things, but overall Google can be in the right place regardless, because they have great solutions for both major approaches. At least a couple of different frameworks less libraries for building rich web apps as PWAs, Flutter and ongoing evolution of the native APIs for the native approach, and flutter versus the native APIs in terms of whether it is better to render at the OS level or app level.

(I happened to be finishing up watching this when I saw it appear here is a new submission.)
