What specifically isn't elegant about Dart in your opinion? Seems like a perfectly good language to me, and although it's nothing fancy, it does have a bit of sugar, and a solid standard library. I also like how codegen and static analysis are so accessible through the build libraries.
It's evolving pretty quickly, too. Non-nullable by default is coming up, along with extension methods, FFI. Possibly implicit conversions.
I've been working with Flutter/Dart for the past 8 months or so, and I have to say...I'm pretty into it.
- weavie 7y agoI think I've been spoiled by algebraic data types and pattern matching. I really miss them. Non-nullable by default will be a huge win. It does feel like a huge step backwards having to deal with nulls again.
