I understand they are using the Dart langugage? Was it hard to master?

  Super easy if you know JS/TS and turns out that I actually quite like it.

    What's missing? TS has quite a few interesting language features that I assume Dart is missing (seems Dart has the reputation of being a Java-like language, with all the boilerplate that that entails).

      Probably my largest complaint is the need to use codegen for the json stuff. Sure you can type it all out by hand, but the codegen really does automate a lot of it for you. I have intentionally kept my very specific use case mobile app very very simple and not gone deep on the magic edge cases. It is a private app and will never be on the store. It is basically used as a QR code scanner to track equipment. I'm sure that if you have a lot deeper/larger apps you'd find more to complain about, but so far I'm happy enough with going from zero to full fledged app in about a month of work. IMHO, the boilerplate argument with Java is kind of outdated (Project Lombok and modern java solve a lot of that).
