This. Flutter is fine, but Dart rankles me. I wish they'd used Kotlin for it instead - a much nicer language with cleaner aesthetics.

Dart came out the same year as Kotlin.. it's not like this decision was made this year (they're both 10 years old).

Re: Sibling comment it really is an order of magnitude better than many other languages. It's worth giving a try. Null safety alone is worth it (although other languages like C# now support this too).

Agree. I am not learning another language unless its an order of magnitude better than what's out there.
