I wish it was written in Kotlin!

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...

Kotlin is awesome and Dart is not as awesome but when you are like me and write C++, Java, and Fortran at work all day Dart still feels better than those.

Plus you never have to mess around with the Android UI layer...

Yeah, I prefer Dart + Flutter vs anything + Android UI layer... But the library ecosystem of the JVM and Android specifics is just too big, it will take time for Dart and Flutter to have even a small part. And also people with knowledge of the language and the ecosystem, it may be a bit risky to use Flutter right now.

I wish it was written language-agnostically, with bindings for everything, like libui.
