What is the Dart & Flutter Development

Question

Is Dart my only programming language option with Flutter or can I use other languages like C++, Java, Kotlin, or Go? What are all the available options for langugaes with the Flutter framework if they're are additional options.

Solution

Dart is the only programming language that is currently supported by the Flutter framework. You can get started here.

To be honest, I doubt that there are any plans on integrating other programming languages because Flutter is built around Dart and vise versa.

When writing applications in the framework, you can still access native code, that would be Android (Java, Kotlin, C++), iOS (Objective-C, Swift) and probably other platforms in the future.

Dart is the only option. You can integrate native Java/Kotlin or Objective-C/Swift code using platform channels, but that is just to call out to from Flutter. See also flutter.io/faq/#why-did-flutter-choose-to-use-dart

I agree with all the other answers, but wanted to add that I started working with Flutter a few weeks ago and found Dart a breeze to pick up (I have a C#/JavaScript/TypeScript background).
