No thanks. The extra noise of these keywords scattered everywhere would be a huge loss in readability in a language that is already way too verbose. As others

No thanks. The extra noise of these keywords scattered everywhere would be a huge loss in readability in a language that is already way too verbose.
As others have said, this is a very common convention in many languages now. You get used to it in a day. It also opens this door for nice sugar like the ?? operator.
- The_Colonel 2y agoAgreed, the added verbosity is IMHO the reason why the (useful) keyword final isn't used as widely as it could.
- cageface 2y agoOne of the few things I don’t like about Dart is that it uses final for constant values. It seems like a small thing but it adds up. Let would be much better.
