Don’t get me wrong but I know a lot of people that don’t use the right tool for the job. And people here are very biased towards Dart.

I was a software engineer coding objc and swift at a pretty well known publicly traded German company. If it wasn’t because of typescript/js I wouldn’t have been able to build my startup completely on my own supporting backend, web, iOS and Android.

"Here" as in HN? Some of the comments on every Flutter post are people complaining about Dart, "why didn't you choose Kotlin," etc.

I mean I'm definitely one of those people, I have my unreasonable biases, but I just don't see (yet) the reasons behind the Dart bias. I'd love to learn more about it.

And yeah, what's crazy is that in recent time you could know tyepscript/js and actually build every bit of a startup (assuming you know the domains well enough)... Dart as an investment just doesn't make sense when you've got a language like JS (IMO best paired with Typescript) that can go everywhere.
