I wish Flutter itself has been written in Go.
Actually, I've written an article a few days ago fantasising on how it could look like – "Thought Experiment: Flutter in Go"

LispWorks, Allegro, Cincom, GemTalk are still in business.
Please don't be shy and let us know about all those amazing Flutter/Dart applications in production that outnumber any of those vendors, both in customer base and business value.
Other than Ad Words that is.
I start with a couple,
- Google's own ITA (CL)
- Siscog traffic management solutions used across European train networks (CL)
- JP Morgan financial risk management (Smalltalk)
I like both of them, and they're historically important languages, but are not mainstream, and weren't mainstream even on their heyday.
I expected you to mean some post-Pascal Wirth-derived language though, or some other such project.

Well, Flutter 1.0 was just announced on Dec 2018 (so like a month ago) and the others had a 4+ decade headstart.
Still, some historical CL/Smalltalk apps aside (few enough to be enumerated in "success stories" style posts), in 2-3 years there will be more Flutter/Dart apps than CL and Smalltalk apps combined.
Heck, there are more Go apps in production "that outnumber any of those vendors, both in customer base and business value", and that went 1.0 less than 7 years ago.
If a language can enumerate it's success stories, it has already lost the popularity game. I've read the same "success stories" (and more) in Lisp forums and Smalltalk advocacy posts.
In fact, Dart before Flutter, was in the same boat "yeah, we use it in Google's ad management, and company X uses it for Y". But I have no doubt it will explode in popularity with Flutter.
Smalltalk.
Erlang.
Elixir.
Ruby.
Java (limited in core JDK/OpenJDK, though there is third-party support for more complete hot swapping via DECVM and HotswapAgent).
tbh I don't really care in what language is written, but I would really like to create Apps with Kotlin using Flutter instead of having to learn another language that it's (in my opinion) a bit inferior than the one I'm currently using.
I can see myself using flutter as a thin UI layer and just forget about the mess that Android UI layer is...
Plus you never have to mess around with the Android UI layer...
