I liked the idea of Flutter since I saw it for the first time probably long time ago. Dart as a language choice was throwing me back though, but in general this language is very similar to ES6 and makes OO easier. For example it doesn't require to use `this` in methods. I wish it was TypeScript instead, because it has more mature tooling and community support.

I'm still hesitant to put my hand on it for side project until it's more popular. Chicken and egg problem I guess.

I get that learning another new language sucks and JavaScript would've been nice instead but the Dart language choice actually enables some very nice features in terms of developer experience. I don't remember the details off the top of my head, but I believe stateful reload is one example of what possible because of Dart.
