🎟️ 2025 Edition 12 March, Turin: flutterheroes.com/2025/tickets-2/ ⏩ Chapter: 00:00 Intro 01:56 What is FFI? 02:33 Why should I use FFI with Flutter? 04:56 Project setup - C Plugin 10:48 Rust Plugin 14:43 Extra step for MacOS/iOS 17:08 LIVE DEMO 21:23 Solution Dart is a versatile language that can be used to build a wide range of applications. However, sometimes you need the performance of another language, such as C or Rust, for certain tasks. That's where Dart FFI comes in. Dart FFI allows you to call functions written in other languages directly from your Dart code. This can be a great way to boost the performance of your Dart application for specific tasks, such as image processing, numerical computing, or machine learning. With that said, it's important to ask yourself: Is FFI always the best way to boost performance? In this talk, we will discuss the benefits and challenges of using Dart FFI. We will also explore some alternative ways to improve the performance of your Dart application. 🎤 MATTEO MARIA TERZUOLO, Senior Flutter Engineer 📍Flutter Heroes was hosted in Turin, in February.
