Why is Flutter the mobile SDK developers deserve...
summary
Flutter compiles Dart to native ARM code (AOT) and also uses JIT for stateful hot reload, letting UI changes apply without losing app state; the demo builds an app with app bar, drawer and FAB in ~2:09 and changes appear on both iOS and Android simultaneously. The engine ships Skia so Flutter draws everything on the screen (no webview, no JS bridge), yielding 1.8× faster development, ~50% less code, but a ~4.7 MB baseline binary and incomplete third‑party coverage; Alibaba, Google Ads and Hamilton cite production use and native plugin interop via method channels.
