On: I made a guitar tuner app using Flutter and Rust

Why not just dart?

Dart being a GC'd runtime makes it quite hard to use for low latency audio applications, probably not as critical for audio input as output, but still potential issue, for more details see: https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/46943

Then why bother with Flutter at all?

It's amazing for UI (and portable).

Rust - not so much (or more like not at all) at the moment.

And has a GC running all the time, including when the called Rust code is executing, making it pointless to avoid using Dart in first place.
