I released two apps built in dart on flutter. I loved it at the time, but I ran into this issue headlong with both of them. Release v1.0, move on to other things, come back in a year with a new computer to fix a minor bug and I can’t even compile the original release anymore, and had to spend forever rejiggering everything to get it back to the state it was when I left it. I really loved dart, and even flutter, building in it was a breeze. But the churn made the js ecosystem look slow.

I developed this app few years agon in Flutter. I can't build it anymore. I can fix my own codebase but it shows issues in dependencies

You don't get to very rudely accuse someone of giving "fake examples" (why?) and then, later, use weasel words like "in my experience." Perhaps your experience isn't representative of everyone else's.

The example was:

> Flutter 27 lands, requires Dart 45, which requires intl 81.2.5

None of those versions exist, so the example is obviously made up.

Now, it could still be rooted in reality rather than being a complete fabrication. But when all the provided details were made up, it's basically impossible for anyone to check.

> Flutter 27 lands, requires Dart 45, which requires intl 81.2.5

>> None of those versions exist, so the example is obviously made up.

I think those version numbers where hyperbolic to describe how fast the ecosystem moves

Ah! Thanks.
