The great thread merge

Dive deep into Flutter's thread merge, a fundamental shift in its engine design aimed at enhancing native interoperability. Craig breaks down the roles of the UI and Raster threads, introduces the native platform thread, and explains how integrating Dart code onto the main platform thread streamlines native API calls. Learn about the benefits for plugin authors, the evolution of API surfaces, and how this change simplifies complex widget interactions for a smoother development experience.
