I used to work on Android, quit two years ago and have used Flutter since, it's a breath of fresh air. It does use the hardware to the full extent, imo it's significantly more performant: it does an end-around all the ossified Android nonsense.

RE: Flutter
Yeah, I'm currently developing a Flutter app and also using flutter_rust_bridge to separate the business logic and I can hardly believe how enjoyable it is.
Other than the initial project setup which is a me and Nix flakes problem it all comes together pretty smoothly.
Hmm, so if you wanted to make an AR app, or some audio processing app, would you do that in Flutter? All the projects I have in mind involve using the camera/microphone/gps etc. Looking at Dart sample projects it just seemed to be quite different from what they're aiming at
