How did you find writing your apps in Dart when using Flutter? That was one language I haven't been in a rush to learn but the performance metrics you talk about can be quite persuasive.

I've heard a number of people having issues with React Native. I'm curious if that is just an immaturity thing or something more fundamental.

Dart is alright. For being able to use Flutter, it's a fair trade-off.

React Native, it was both. Fundamentally, it uses a JS engine that acts as a bridge, and that can be a performance bottleneck depending on the usecase.

Thanks for the response!

Flutter sounds like a good compromise between Native code (Swift/Kotlin) and React Native then.

If you need high performance but no code sharing - use Native code (Swift/Kotlin)

If you code sharing but okays performance - use React Native

If you need both high performance but code sharing - use Flutter
