Are you a Flutter/Dart developer? Have you been significantly hindered by Dart's current concurrency model (isolates)?
I would like to chat with you.
We have done a lot to improve isolates in the past years - but I would like to gather some real-world issues / road blocks.

Very nice to see up-to-date Dart books published, that include our recent language changes!
Quote Tweet
We split the old Dart Apprentice book into Dart Apprentice: Fundamentals and Dart Apprentice: Beyond the Basics. The learning sequence is better, and the books cover several new topics. Everything is up-to-date for Dart 2.18.

For those wonderful Dart devs who publish on pub.dev I'd like to give a strong rec. to not only focus on the source code, but also craft good docs.
The README file is especially important; it's the first thing users see. We have tips here:

Re-read medium.com/dartlang/dart- today and was reminded how much Dart has evolved (away from it's more dynamic/javascripty roots) towards AOT performance in these last years.

Really liking the Dart 2.17 super parameters feature? Don't feel like manually migrating existing code to use it?
We've got you covered: just run `dart fix`. You do need a tiny bit of configuration to enable it; get all the details in the example here: dart.dev/tools/dart-fix

From the latest rank: "Dart was able to move up one spot and tie Rust at #19. It took Kotlin two quarters to make that jump, and while Rust did it similarly in a single quarter, Rust also had a great deal more time."
Great job devs!

In the next few releases we're removing the older CLI tools (dartdoc, pub, dart2js, dartanalyzer) which now live in the single `dart` tool. If you havn't already, please migrate (e.g. in CI) and file issues for anything missing in `dart`.

We've been discussing ADTs and pattern matching a bit on the team. One question that comes up is whether this would make real life Flutter code better. Anyone have pointers to some Dart code that is currently doing something that would benefit from this?

Awesome to see this - it's a culmination of quite a bit of hard work by the team! One of the under-appreciated advantages of Dart's web stack and Flutter/Web is the ability to do something like at scale and performance.

The DartDoc generated API docs for Dart packages and libraries contain the usual documentation for properties and methods, but in addition at the bottom of the page show the source code. Do you generally find that useful? Or distracting? Or something third?

The May Update for Code is here, with a nice feature for #DartLang devs: basic language support for Dart is now built-in, so you'll get things like Dart syntax highlighting in any Code installation.
For the full Dart experience, the Dart Code extension is still recommended.

RedMonk just released their latest ranking of programming language usage (based on data from GitHub + StackOverflow). I put together graphs from 2012 to 2021 into one video so that it's easier to track Dart's trajectory.
