I'm working on using Dart embedded in a VR platform. One thing I would really like to see in 2.0 is the "new" keyword to go away or be optional. Even when working with Flutter it becomes very obvious how unnecessary the new keyword is.

I also would like to see Anonymous classes like in Java if it were possible.

No promises, of course, but that's something we're hoping to do soon.
