Thanks for the excellent write up and your work on Dart. After the long hiatus, I'm excited to see the language proposals in https://github.com/dart-lang/language, but I haven't seen anything in there regarding concurrency.

There is the "static immutability" proposal[1] which is related to concurrency. However it is correct that there is no single issue that just says "Make Concurrency Awesome".

I believe that we already have necessary building blocks (isolates), we just need to make concurrency via isolates efficient and ergonomic.

However it is still very early, so I don't have much else to share.

Ah, yes, I had read that previously. That's a big one and will be a game changer, including improving concurrency.
