Flutter, Dart, and WASM-GC: A new model for Web applications [video]
&quot;Towards a modern web stack&quot; is only partly the topic of this, there&#x27;s less total focus on ripping out the <i>entire</i> hypermedia stack &amp; replacing it with their own rendering engine.<p>The Flutter crew is in a weird position because they believe in themselves as a strong cross platform system for enabling app developers to get their &quot;pixel perfect&quot; options. But stripping out all extensibility, hypermedia, making the web as bad as regular native apps is a huge downgrade for users. CanvasKit &amp; all just doesn&#x27;t fit with the web, or interoperability, or protocols, or connectivity. It&#x27;s a small micosm, a bastion&#x2F;exploit for &quot;native apps&quot; to hammer their way into the web.<p>At least this talk is a little more general. The idea of alloying the web is farrrr more interesting to me.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=34612696" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=34612696</a>
