I'm also used to functional programming. The only thing I can not stand about Dart is that types are coupled to classes. If you want to use stateless functions and typed data shapes, you're out of luck. Compare this to TypeScript that truly allows both paradigms and has a very expressive type system.

Doesn’t `typedef` let you specify arbitrary type aliases for pretty much anything in Dart? Or are you talking about something else? For my own curiosity, can you provide an example of Typescript vs Dart in this case?
