Raspberry pi

This is great.

The plugins work has already been done and works on desktops. It calls out to golang but c/c++ should be possible.

It's all been developed for golang.
Golang runs on all the embedded devices you are using also btw !

I really want to try out raspberry pi. How was the performance with larger apps ?

Yeah I'm aware of the desktop project. My goal is limited RAM devices.

Performance isn't bad. I think it would work well for quite a few projects.

Key area for performance will be compiling Dart to native. This isn't supported in the Flutter toolchain yet.. With this, performance could be close to QT. Without the license fees.

I also used to do QT, and i totally get you about the licensing.
In case you are curious, you can compile golang to embedded using tinygo.

Its NOT fully supporting al of golang yet ! But most stuff is.

The list of supported boards is pretty good. Of course raspberryPi does not need this as golang natively supports raspberrypi.

I should add that golang also a Make equivalent too so that your make files are really clean for all operating systems. All you need is go itself and thats it.

Curious what you think.

Yeah I've played around with Go a bit. When I have some time (~3 weeks), I'll take a look at the Flutter desktop implementation, and see what the gaps are for SQLite, Bluetooth, GPS, Network adapter status, etc.

Closing, as this is not an actionable item.
