There no granted that which will rule over apps markets. Maybe there will come second after flutter and and replace flutter.

Maybe yes maybe no, while flutter has created a way which is different to java/kotlin, the layout creation in particular, I think it will take some time for flutter to take over, because it is missing some platform specific systems. Yes I understand that Flutter is supposed to run on every platform, but that means that for a feature to be added to flutter, the feature has to be on those platforms as well. Which they obviously aren't. Ever tried to access root folder on you apple device. Or change the device owner on apple. Currently the only option to create a device owner app is to add this code after flutter build the android platform. You then have to use some kind of Java API to add this. Even though you wabted an alternative to java. All in all, I think Flutter will be used on a lot of platforms, but as with every single thing, nothing is created in just a second. Flutter will have to go through some try and error and some changes in how they allow platform specific code.

that's exactly what I would say too, even though I would prefer Flutter over kotlin, because as far as I know Flutter does kind of support more platforms

See what I've just found: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-flutter-112-support-web-macos-more/ It's new; so it might be interesting to you - I know Linux and Windows are still in early development as it says, but they added web and macos support which in my eyes is a good sign, because it shows taht they are still actively working on Flutter

True stuff thanks for the explanation makes sense that flutter is still in its early days but is really coming up fast and strong, but right now it's kotlin that's taking over because of the way it simplifies writing code.
