Flutter will use an impeller instead of Skia

In flutter applications, Impeller will be our next-generation rendering layer

Essentially, it’s a rewrite of the core rendering layer underpinning all of Flutter’s display features. Upon completion, Impeller will replace the old Skia code with custom code that can take full advantage of the latest chipsets and hardware-accelerated APIs such as Metal and Vulkan on iOS and Android.

The Impeller should be able to offer most apps on mobile a smooth, almost solid 60 Hertz refresh rate. This is overkill for most productivity apps but a necessity for games.
