Dart is very good at doing pointless things. The optimiser is terrific at optimizing things after you need them (there is a longer story there)
I spent a bit of time using it in web context, clunky and buggy.
The test harness is constrained in all sorts of arbitrary ways. I say arbitrary, I expect there is a strong theory behind it, and google insists....
As for flutter itself the easy things are easier, the hard things much harder. I did not build our ui but I could never find where anything is executed in it
A flutter UI is not (?) HTML
On the web there exists HTML5 which inherits the oddities of CSS and facilitates any old shit you want fromm Javascript, but it is very tractable. Easy things still easy, hard things easier.
Dart/flutter was meant to replace Javascript, I can see how they started, but they got lost.
Got to say, the developers were very responsive on their issues page
