Flutter — what is it?
summary
Describes Flutter as a UI toolkit that uses a C++ rendering engine and Dart 2, with hot reload shown at about 1 second and a 60 FPS target. Explains that Flutter provides Material and Cupertino widgets but currently lacks some common controls and vector support, requires native plugins for functionality like keyboard locale, has limited locale coverage (~15), and presently consumes roughly 3× more RAM/CPU and produces much larger binaries (debug >10×, release ~2×), with some devices experiencing white-screen or crash-on-render bugs.
