The results from the latest quarterly Flutter survey are out. They focused on:
- Null safety, which is, as predicted, makes the majority of developers happy;
- Ecosystem, which satisfactory rate is increasing;
- Text editing, a subject the Flutter team is planning to improve, both in code and with examples;
- Mobile development.
I am not surprised to see that Xcode (for iOS dev) and Gradle (for Android dev) are problematic to deal with. That is also what I experienced while working with Flutter.
What is stopping you from using Flutter more effectively? Let me know in the comment section.
