Glad to see Hixie still working on Flutter though, as I'm a big user of it. For the Google specific parts, I can't comment much on the internal development structure of the company, having not worked there, but as a user of their products over the past 20 years or so, there really has been a slowdown of innovation from them. I mean, what did they really create in the last decade that endures?

I literally came in here to say I'll probably stop using it given all the people at Google who Flutter depends on.

I suspect a few high level departures more and it'd be dead.

Do you mean he's going to continue working on it or just that he had been for the past 8 or 9 years?

Read his latest posts, he's still working on Flutter, but now he doesn't have to answer to its boss, which seems like why he left based on a paragraph in this blog post.

Eric and Tim already left awhile ago. It is very much possible that Tim left for the same reason as Hixie or at least fully supports Hixie for this decision.
