Maybe Flutter will at some point get an HTML / XHTML / XML way of creating UIs GWT only got UI:Binder later on, was never a fan of the declarative way of building things, it's very hard to visualise what you're building when working that way

Why would html be better at creating UIs than just code? Xml is okay, but it’s not much better than code — the only advantage in Android is instant preview, but that doesn’t work perfectly (and is super resource heavy), and I think something similar is coming to Flutter as well with the new inspector thingy (haven’t used it yet)

familiarity I suppose ... when I read through HTML / XML, I can easily see what I'm working on and see the structure very easily. With the
new
keyword becoming optional in Dart2, maybe the Dart DSL will start to read easier and maybe I'll warm up to the declarative style.

Currently Flutter UI declaration looks completely unreadable for me, just a mess of code
