Is Flutter Finally Getting Code Push?
I follow the official Flutter Medium publication found at https://blog.flutter.dev/. This is where they post what changed in the Flutter stable channel updates. They also post some other things like tutorials and events.
But the post I’d like to talk about was published a little while ago under the name Flutter & Dart’s 2026 roadmap. So I read it. And it started off pretty boring. Impeller is coming to Android. For real this time. And it looks like 2026 will finally be the year WASM takes off. Just like how 2023 was also supposed to be the year WASM takes off. Wow, 3 years since a web assembly rant? Maybe I should write another.
And there’s a lot of AI stuff. MCP, Gemini CLI, and Antigravity are all here. And there’s the decoupling of Material and Cupertino UIs which they discussed before.
But there are two sections in particular that I found quite surprising. The first is about Full-Stack Dart and the second is about “ephemeral” code delivery.
So first Full-Stack Dart. This refers to running Dart on both the front end and the backend. Now, personally, I don’t think this is that big of a deal. I only bring it up because apparently there are a lot of people who really want to run the same code on the front end and the back end.
