Looking back, I’ve enjoyed working with a number of programming languages and technologies. From C/C++, DBase, Paradox, and Clarion in MS-DOS; to VB and Delphi in Windows; to Javascript with React on the web and React Native for mobile. During that journey, I was enamored with Silverlight using C#. Sadly Microsoft deprecated Silverlight. Today, I am slowly falling for Dart & Flutter–which I “hope” Google will not deprecate (but at least the code is open source). Most of my career I used Delphi (which has been an amazing solution for Windows) but I wanted to move to Silverlight for cross platform solutions. Flutter feels like Silverlight and Dart like C#; which in turn feels like Delphi’s Object Pascal (w/ Garbage Collection) and the VCL (except with Widgets vs Components). Time will tell what happens, but right now, Dart & Flutter are fun.
