- ezekg 4y agoI thought that the DX was rather poor last time I played with Dart (not Flutter). Package docs suck when it comes to describing a package’s API and types (not sure if this is the package’s fault but I was expecting Go-like docs). I expected better from a typed language. I also didn’t have a nice time with the package manager. I had to manually create the pubspec.yml file to even start installing packages. Maybe I missed some crucial docs, but I was rather annoyed throughout the whole experience.

- sebazzz 4y agoGiven the javascript frameworks we run these days apparently that isn't an issue.
- cercatrova 4y agoOr it is an issue and why everyone is moving to compiled languages for JS tooling, like Turbopack announced yesterday as a Webpack alternative written in Rust, to join other tooling such as esbuild, SWC, and Rome.
- aristofun 4y agoTypescript is another amazing language. They don’t compete.
- rufius 4y agoBut not in a more meaningful way than TypeScript which has the advantage of being a superset of JavaScript.
