Reddit: Questions about Dart and strong coupling of view and controller code
Hi everyone, I am mostly a web and desktop developer and most of my knowledge is around Go, ASP.NET, and Angular. I just started learning flutter as I think Fuchsia is a very promising platform and opens a lot of possibilities for mobile app development.However, after learning flutter and Dart for a few days, I can't help wondering if Dart is really the optimal optional for Fuchsia and flutter development, and I am questioning if Dart is just a temporary solution before Google comes up with a better language for Fuchsia and flutter.Here are my main concerns with using Dart as the main development language:Dart does not have an engaging community and is listed as the worst programming language to learn by TechRepublic. The subreddit of Dart is really quiet and I am not sure if it's worth of my effort to learn Dart if Google is going to replace it soon in the future.Sample code reads like configurations in flutter. I walked through the tutorial, looked into a few pages of the cookbook. I am astonished that views are so strongly coupled within Dart code (instead of having a separate HTML or XAML that allows you to decouple view and controller code). This reminds me of Java Swing. I used to write a lot of code in Java Swing, and I hated how verbose it was and that a lot of my code was configuring Swing components, which made my program really big and difficult to maintain (even if I used design patterns). I personally prefer .NET WPF and Angular where I can put view and controller into XAML/HTML and C#/TypeScript code and there is a clear boundary between them. Flutter (or Dart) seems to couple them again and bring everything back to the early 2000, but I believe Google may have its reason for choosing Dart and make view and controller code tightly coupled.I personally find it risky to learn immature (or in early development-stage) technologies as they can change a lot in the first 3 stable releases (Java 1.4 - 5, Angular beta to first stable release) and my time and effort will be wasted if the change is too dramatic. What do you think? Do you think my concerns are valid? Is it worth to invest time learning flutter to prepare for future mobile development? Thanks!P.S. I am no longer interested in learning Android (with Kotlin or Java), iOS (with Swift), or Ionic/ReactNative, after I learned the architecture of Fuchsia and flutter.

Reddit: Unit testing dart code
Just wondering if anyone has any projects with a lot of their dart code being unit tested? I see a lot of projects where the majority of the tests are where widgets are being tested but not just plain dart code without any dependencies on the Flutter framework.

Reddit: Encrypted SQLite Database?
we're evaluating iOS/Android cross platform frameworks at work, and one of our hard requirements is to have an encrypted SQLite database. I've found one GitHub repo that's a fork of sqflite that claims to be encrypted, but there's no documentation at all on using it. Is this something any of you have done with Flutter?

GGroup: Beta 3: Getting "NoSuchMethodError: The method '<' was called on null. " when building for release
Hi, Just upgrade Flutter to beta 3 and I am seeing following error when running "flutter run --release" or "flutter build apk". Running "flutter clean" before the command doesn't help. No problem running in debug mode. As the error is too vague for me, could anyone shed some light on this?

GGroup: Which talked at io 2018 actually have flutter content?
I have watched the first talked tagged as design and flutter, I think they said flutter twice and displayed code sample for everything but flutter. So out of the remaining 5 talks tagged as Flutter, which ones will have flutter content? https://ift.tt/2rszbYU
