I'm surprised that no one is commenting on macros. For me, that is the most exciting feature! It'll make writing code so much more enjoyable and avoid all of the code generation happening at the moment.

But maybe I'm the only one who's bothered with code generation :D

You're not the only one. They actually started work on macros before pattern/records, but for some reason it seems priority changed. I would have much preferred macros came first.
Update: One of the Dart devs says it's because macros are higher risk and harder to get right.
