Should frontend developers look towards flutter and dart?

I have a lot of experience in front-end development. Lately, I've been leaning towards something new.
Now I'm thinking about flutter. As I understand it, in the west it is already much more popular than in our country. There is a possibility that the demand for flutter / dart developers will soon begin to increase here.
The idea of ​​making ui in a more thoughtful language than js attracts me. I also understand that there will not be much experience for a new technology, but flutter is primarily a framework for developing for mobile phones.
Hence the question, will there be a real opportunity to go there from the web and compete with android/swift developers?
Although, as I understand it, flutter uses its own sdk, but, all the same, those who have previously been engaged in mobile development have a clear advantage.
I understand that it is always better to learn something, but you can always find more priority areas. Therefore, I want to better understand what to expect if I go there. Of course, losing half of the salary because of the desire for something new is not a very promising prospect.

If there is a desire, then all the doors are open in front of you, Flutter is a young, but quite mature framework and will definitely capture a large market share. Competition does not occur at the level of languages, but the ability to solve business problems with the means that are now available.
I chose Flutter because it’s nice to make applications on it, the layout I hate turns into pleasure, everything is solved without crutches by reading the documentation.
Well, of course, compiling for 2 platforms at once dramatically increases the attractiveness of a Flutter developer over java / kotlin / swift separately.

- People find high paying jobs on Clojure Script The problem is the popularity of the language. Doesn't really mean anything. Demand will certainly grow, Flutter saves a lot of money for the business.

I worked as a FullStack developer, and in 8 months I wrote down several projects on Flutter, one complex, and a few more simple ones. And I found a job as a Flutter dev. If you move from one technology to another in the middle position, you do not become a junior.

Flutter/Dart are very attractive technologies for businesses and other developers. For developers, because of the type system in Dart and the solution to the problem that is and remains in JS / Web. For business because of the cross platform.
