dart::ffi

[tobrun]

As of Dart 2.6, dart:ffi is in beta. The foreign function interface allows for C interop with dart code. While the mapbox-gl-native is written in c++, it might be possible to wrap it with a C interface allowing to make a real flutter implementation of mapbox-gl-native.

Is anyone interested in making this happen? For my teams at work, this would be huge for gaining Flutter support.

[tobrun]

The C interface is a feature that is currently missing downstream before we are able to work on it in this repository. There are discussions ongoing at Mapbox to support this as multiple languages next to Dart (eg. Python, Swift, ..) would be able to leverage this.

Hope you decide there that it will be worth it. This would be a huge step forward.

[despondency]

That would be actually huge. We would be able to use the full interface natively.

Any news?
