Although there is some good stuff in here, Flutter's priorities continue to disappoint me.
The fact I'd need to rely on code generation in 2023 for the ability to serialize & deserialize classes puts it far behind the typical Typescript developer experience. I'm hopeful for things like inline classes [1] and extension structs [2] but Dart still has a long way to go and it's sad more focus is given to things like WebAssembly when the core of Dart/Flutter is lacking.
