It's not really an architectural difference, I'd agree (outside of isolates vs. threads): Dart is mostly about ergonomics compared to other class-based OO languages. Unification of class, interface, and mixin; method cascades for “free” fluent interfaces; the syntactic support for sync and async generators along with async/await, really transparent (binary, not just source-level like C#) getters and setters; named and factory constructors; the whole deep consideration of const-ness, etc., are all ergonomic features, not major changes in architecture / paradigm.
