This is a fascinating discussion about the potential of expanding 
the Flutter framework beyond its current implementation! The idea 
of rewriting it in TypeScript and C++ sounds ambitious but also 
incredibly promising, especially for developing cross-platform UI 
frameworks with native GPU acceleration for mobile, desktop, and 
IoT.

It’s also interesting to see how big companies like Alibaba are 
already leveraging the Flutter framework for large-scale apps 
like Idle Fish. For more information about Flutter, you can check

Regarding implementing the framework in D language, it could be 
an exciting challenge given D’s native C++ ABI support. It would 
be great to see more exploration and experimentation in this 
direction.
