Dart has good chances.&lt;p&gt;They already have an early stage framework to make Android (and iOS) apps with Dart[0]. It&amp;#x27;s also the main GUI toolkit for their Fuchsia OS [1].&lt;p&gt;0 &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;flutter.io&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;flutter.io&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;1 &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;fuchsia-mirror&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;fuchsia-mirror&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

I would say &amp;quot;it&amp;#x27;s simply superior in every imaginable metric other than cross-platform implementations of the compiler&amp;#x2F;VM&amp;quot; but that&amp;#x27;s just my opinion.</text></comment>
