It's all good, I enjoy hearing your perspective! To be honest I've never been greatly interested in programming languages as a subject in its own right. As such, and as you correctly assume, I only got into Dart because of Flutter. Since then I've used it for backend services as well, and it's very pleasant to me.

A lot of it probably comes from the excellent devex, but it strikes a nice balance between dynamic get-shit-done-ness that you find in JS/Python, and the more verbose, safe, structured nature of C#/Java.

Global imports, method cascading, extensive list comprehensions, named arguments, inference being heavily encouraged, flexible constructors. It's been a while since I did any serious large scale coding in C#, but I just remember it being more of a verbose slog.
