It's a bloody simple language to learn if you already know one of the similar modern typed languages (Typescript, Swift, Kotlin, etc).

You can honestly pick it up in a weekend, there's nothing particularly new or groundbreaking.

Yeah, that's one of the 2 major concerns I have with flutter: - new lang, platform, libs, tools, everything, it's like let's just dump 20ys of what we already have (either javascript or java/kotlin) - excessive nesting (border, center, etc. it's much worse than html and I'd consider even that to be over what I'd like to have)

BTW: I'm working on subset of react-native for desktop (not yet ready) https://github.com/cztomsik/stain/tree/master/src

Flutter looks great, except for the fact that is yet-another-language, why???

otherwise I might put some time into it, the Dart decision is unwise to me. Life is too short to get good of so many languages(esp the eco-systems behind each)

Exactly.

Why o why is this not written in a way to support TypeScript?
