Along with releasing Python specialists, Google also has laid off Flutter and Dart teams according to various reports.

Google did not respond this morning to InfoWorld's inquiry about Flutter and Dart layoffs. But comments were circulating online about staff reductions at Google. Flutter is an open-source framework for building multi-platform applications from a single codebase. Dart, a language leveraged by Flutter, was once positioned as a rival to JavaScript.

Google pledged to unveil updates to Flutter at the Google I/O conference in two weeks. With the reduction of staff for Flutter and Dart, there is now some question about the future of these two technologies.
