I've written a few Flutter apps. The problem is dart is just not a good language and not something you'd want to use in 2023.

The Flutter team should consider unpegging from dart and utilize JavaScript/Typescript, Kotlin, or Swift.

We've been telling Dart team our complaints but they have been unaddressed for over 8 years now. At this point, some other thoughts include applying a garbage collection cycle and have them replaced by Carbon team or Golang team.

Perhaps get a new product manager, someone that will listen to the grieving (& dying) dart community.

why would they do that, dart is better than all those languages except for maybe swift.
