12/03/2021, 6:19 PMMy personal opinion is that one of the biggest advantages of Compose is Kotlin - and one of the primary wins of JVM Kotlin over Dart is decades of preexisting ecosystem, as well as more widespread knowledge about runtime details and probably even the language itself.
Framed another way, if you already have a ton of android/Java code, it's a lot easier to use that from Kotlin (and thus Compose) than Dart.
