> Robustness should come from better languages that are safe by construction.

Nahh, robustness comes from the time you can spend refining the product not from some magic property of a language. That can help but just a bit. There was no Swift in Snow Leopard. Nor there is not much Rust in Linux (often none) and even less (none) in one of the most stable OS available, FreeBSD.

They should just release a new version when the product is ready and not when the marketing says to release it.

> A popular folk etymology holds that the term is an acronym for "port out, starboard home",[4] describing the cooler, north-facing cabins taken by the most aristocratic or rich passengers travelling from Britain to India and back. However, there is no evidence for this claim

Using dart and flutter every day for the last 3 years, I strongly disagree with you. Dart/Flutter is a lower level framework than something like vue, so yes it is more verbose. But there are standars, what you are referring to are just libraries builded on top of them. There are two ways to navigate, a legacy one and a new one, but this is normal in a young framework. State management? You are covered by the framework, wants something different? Just pick your poison between the available flavors. The base is sane and stable as a young growing framework can be and so is the ecosystem. Can’t say the same about JS

Maybe two weeks are not enough to understand something like Flutter and Dart…

My two cents
