JSON support is awful, "optional types" means "no types". Thanks, but even TS is better.

Enable strong mode. It's pretty neat - https://github.com/dart-lang/dev_compiler/blob/master/doc/ST...

While it is possible to write Dart code without using types (hence "optional") - the vast majority of Dart code is written using types.

The new Dart compiler also provides a "strong mode" which enforces strong typing in order to generate cleaner Javascript code.
