It's been ok for me, feels a bit half-baked in many places (i.e. enums, serialization, constructors, collection manipulation), especially coming from a well thought-out language like Swift or Kotlin. Apparently null safety and extensions are coming which is good. On the other hand it's surprisingly straightforward and simple, more so then Typescript. It has basic OOP, type system, generics, closures & co, all the things you know and need, nothing too fancy, just a good subset for productivity.

The real magic is Flutter though, and outside of that, not sure if Dart has many applications. Dart on Node could be a thing, but seems like more of a hassle right now.
