alt Hacker NewsI always find it strange that flutter isn’t built with golang or typescript. Why use a new language? When flutter came out both languages existed so curious about that.
The main reason i can think of is generics not existing initially

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, it's a super reasonable question.
Iirc the reason is that the Dart team was willing to heavily modify the language and runtime to accommodate the needs of Flutter and the V8 team wasn't.
I think this is the video that talks about this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xqGAC5QCYuQ
