Things have improved though last time I checked 4 years ago. Flutter UI kit is definitely more complete and not fragmented as RN UI kits, or even React UI kits. On top of that you have official:
- firebase
- supabase
- revenue cat
- stripe
- google maps
- google ads / analytics
- grpc
- webview
- tensorflow
just to name a few - there is even more community one e.g: lottie, mobx, just_audio etc.
interop seems also improved:
cffi got improved and been out of beta for a while and they also added FFIgen [0] that can generate bindings to C and Rust C
rust flutter bridge [1] - even though not official is very popular and well maintained. So you can use vast cross-platform crates if you need something more advanced and low latency like for Audio you have CPAL
maybe some ideas about interop can be taken from flutter module:
Not a Flutter Dev, but have you tried 'flutter_rust_bridge' [0]. Seems provide some interop between flutter and rust and looks like a popular and active project. I'm native mobile dev and just curious about this kind of interop myself. If it's seamless then looks like good balance to do mobile front-end in flutter and mobile backend in rust.
Do you mean this https://github.com/fzyzcjy/flutter_rust_bridge ?
Depends on what your requirements are. If it "modern" design (let's not start the millionth discussion on what native/modern design is here), that is also supported on mobile/web, then I would say go with flutter as UI and something like rust as your main language to write your business logic in [1]. You can even use regular c++ with their FFI [2].
