There are now three ways to start Dart applications: 1) From a precompiled snapshot 2) From a snapshot 3) From source When loading from source, we no longer use the complex data pipe / dependency catcher mechanism. Instead, we just load the source synchronously from the file system. This is appropriate because running from source is used only during development and not during production. The previous design was built assuming we would want to run from source over the network, which meant we needed to be able to load source asynchronously over a high latency channel.
Flutter Engine
Flutter is a new way to build high-performance, cross-platform mobile apps. Flutter is optimized for today's, and tomorrow's, mobile devices. We are focused on low-latency input and high frame rates on Android and iOS.
Flutter is an early-stage open-source project. We are still missing core features like accessibility, text input, localization, and more. However, you can build demos and examples today. We hope you try it out and send us feedback.
