| The point is that Flutter compiles back to Javascript.

| Is there an example - I'm not able to find one.
|
| That could be killer!

| I'm aware we have plenty of mediocre mainstream languages

| and have rather useful ecosystems. However, to go out of the
| way to just make a new lame ass syntax, with zero ecosystem,
| and no distinguishable characteristic (which is why Flutter
| is always involved in selling it) why would you do that?
|
| I'm all for new new paradigms, languages that are different
| like haskell or scala to flourish and teach us new ways of
| thinking, this is not it.

|
| Honestly just curious.

| Looking at Kraken contributors, they work for Alibaba, so it
| seems they host that website in China.
