    I feel like Dart scares people off, but LLMs are the great equalizer here.

    If we can build a Python DSL binding for Dart (like Flet does) with the help of coding agents, we may essentially "vibe" with Dart directly. Theoretically, reading the generated Dart code is easier than writing it.

    Taking this to the extreme: could we follow Shopify's lead? [1] They pivoted away from React Native back to native languages. With LLMs handling the heavy lifting, is it now feasible to abandon cross-platform frameworks entirely and just generate native code directly?
