Lightweight Isolates in Flutter and Dart with Maksim Lin

<p>In this episode, I talked to Maksim Lin. Maks is a Google Developer Expert in Flutter, and he’s an Android and Flutter Developer. He’s a passionate contributor, user, and supporter of open-source software. He’s also a regular speaker at technical conferences and local developer group meetups.</p><p>Today, we are going to talk about isolates, isolate groups, the actor model, improvements and limitations of isolates, concurrency, and we will even talk a little bit about "the soul of Erlang and Elixir".</p><p>It’s Maks’s second episode on the Flutter 101 podcast. In <a href="https://flutter101.dev/episodes/webassembly-and-dart-with-maksim-lin">Episode 21</a>, Maks and I were talking about WebAssembly, Dart, and his Dart-WASM project. In both episodes, I had these "wow" moments, as I realized how important WebAssembly will become in the coming years in software development, I had these "wow" moments, as I realized the potential behind the improvements to the Isolates, how the isolates make Dart such a powerful language... so I really hope that you will be just as excited when you are listening to this episode as I was when we recorded it.</p><p><strong>Guest: Maksim Lin</strong></p><ul><li>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/mklin">@mklin</a></li><li>GitHub <a href="https://github.com/maks">@maks</a></li><li>Web <a href="https://manichord.com/">manichord.com</a>: "Flutter and Android App development and consulting"</li><li><a href="https://manichord.com/blog/posts/dart-wasm-as.html">Dart, WASM and AssemblyScript - Oh my!</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXT7nir1B48">Featherweight Isolates in Flutter (Flutter Engage)</a></li></ul><p><strong>Host: Vince Varga</strong></p><ul><li>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/vincevargadev">@vincevargadev</a></li><li>GitHub <a href="https://github.com/vincevargadev">@vincevargadev</a></li><li>LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vincevargadev/">@vincevargadev</a></li><li>Web <a href="https://vincevarga.dev/">vincevarga.dev</a></li><li>Flutter 101
