 **Dart** comes with several notable benefits:
 
 - **Ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation**: Dart compiles your code into native machine code ahead of time. This allows Flutter apps to start quickly and run efficiently, which is especially important for data-intensive apps or apps with complex animations.
-- **Just-intTime (JIT) compilation**: During development, Dart uses JIT, allowing for fast development cycles through **hot reloads**. You can see changes in your app almost instantly without restarting.

 Another significant difference between Flutter and React Native is how each framework handles the **user interface (UI)**. UI design plays an important role in how users interact with your app, and each framework offers different levels of control and customization.

-- Flutter uses its own rendering engine, **Skia**, to draw every pixel on the screen.
-- This means developers have **complete control** over the app's look and behavior, allowing for **pixel-perfect designs** that are consistent across both iOS and Android.
+- Flutter uses the **Impeller rendering engine** by default on iOS, optimizing for smoother animations and reduced "jank" during interactions.
+- Flutter provides **Material** and **Cupertino widgets** that align with Android and iOS styles, minimizing the need to mimic native behavior while allowing for a consistent UI across platforms.

 - Flutter provides **widgets** that mimic native components, but these aren't identical, and users might notice slight differences in look and behavior.
