Ask HN: Anyone Use a Standalone Flutter VM?
3 by childintime | 0 comments on Hacker News.
An independent Flutter VM binary could run Flutter on the desktop today, without waiting for the various "desktop embedding" platforms to mature. Given that the Flutter simulator already performs (very) well on the desktop (Windows in my case), such a VM could take Dart code and run it now, and without a compilation phase. So: 1) Do you think this is a viable platform strategy to boot Flutter on the desktop? 2) Did someone get such a standalone Flutter VM working? Care to share? Note: to be useful a Flutter VM would need access to the web, the local file-system, and probably the serial ports. But any functionality like this could also be provided externally, by a customizable local webserver over, say, websockets.
