I have used Dart's type system and prefer it to Typescript because it's much simpler and better integrated into the language. I think "dynamic" is better than "any" because the type is inferred by dart which gives more type safety than Typescript does here. Obviously TS won't have a clue what to do after an "any" is passed into another Type afaik? You are right that that checking for nulls is a bit weird but you just set default values using ?. and. ?? and get on with your life - it doesn't make the whole type system bad and there will be attempts to fix this in the future.
