for what it's worth I recently tried Flutter out and despite having never used Dart I kind of.. could just write it. It feels like the most unopinionated Algol type language ever and I've you've ever written Java or C# or JS it's very natural to pick up.

It bothered me so little that overall Flutter seemed way simpler to me than the web-tech stack because I had also very little experience with web apps.

I'm mainly a js developer these days, and I'd agree with that. At a language level, sure, Dart is quite easy to pick up. For every language though, I find the much harder part of being proficient is learning the ecosystem/best practices.
