Does going from O(N) to O(1) sound like "new fangled"?
That is the smell of progress
You're taking "new fangled" too literally. Is it new, as in not everyone concerned is aware of it? Yes! I think the author is as enthusiastic about this as you are.
Dart is my favourite language, it is the flutter framework I'm not so fond of. People literally designed better GUI frameworks than flutter 20 years ago. They did all sorts of weird things, probably for "performance" reasons, that forces the user to do things that kinda undo many of those "gains". Language wise, I love the fact that it comes with NULL safety out of the box, the number one feature I miss in GO-lang is NULL safety. NULL safety has very low cost to syntax or compile efficiency, and literally takes away half your program crash possibilities.

Which ones? Flutter is quite good, especially compared to things like Java Swing or GTK.
This does ignore the fact that there's not one UI toolkit that you can target and that will work on all distros, and you certainly can't target Qt, GTK, ETK, etc. all at the same time. I've been making a cross platform GUI library and it's been a pain point on Linux (even though I use Linux!)
I might seriously recommend it to newbies and like there is just this love I have for windows 7 even though I really didn't use it for much but its so much more elegant in its own way than windows 10
like it can be a really fun experiment and I would be interested to see how that would pan out.
The screenshots could easily fool me into believing it actually is Windows 7 :p
