How Flutter is like Scala (and why I like them both)

One thing I like about using Flutter to build mobile apps is that like Scala, it’s low-ceremony: every character has a purpose that isn’t redundant. It’s also a modern take on creating UIs, where your code is just widgets, event-handling, and custom logic.

For example, with a little extra file/directory logic that’s not shown here, this code is all you need to list the files in a directory on both iOS and Android devices.
