A developer newsletter covering the Flutter 3.44 and Dart 3.12 releases from Google I/O 2026. Flutter 3.44 highlights include Swift Package Manager as the new iOS/macOS default, improved Vulkan/Impeller support, Hybrid Composition++ for Android, and Dart & Flutter Agent Skills. Dart 3.12 introduces private named parameters, experimental primary constructors, experimental Dart support for Firebase Cloud Functions (with AOT compilation and hot reload), a Genkit Dart preview for building AI-powered apps, and Agentic Hot Reload via the Dart MCP server. The newsletter also covers AI coding benchmarks (Program Bench showing frontier models score near zero when unable to copy source code from the internet), and the author's own Agentic Coding Toolkit updates including Cursor/Codex support and Figma-to-Flutter skills.
