Flutter is indeed pretty cool. We've used it last year at work. 
And we'll likely continue using in the second half of this year.
I don't think Flutter will go away as it's been gaining really 
high traction (almost 90k stars on GitHub [1]), and in general, 
it looks like Google is accelerating its investment in the tech 
and the community [2]. Also, AFAIK, it's the primary app platform 
for their upcoming Fuchsia OS.

The Dart language, however, is seriously handicapped. It's much 
better than Go, but that's a pretty low bar. Ever since I've used 
Flutter, I've been making plans to create a tool that translates 
Dart code to D, so I could use the Flutter engine and the Flutter 
framework to write a D app ;)
