I suspect you maybe haven’t used Dart then because it’s genuinely not even close. I know in a philosophical sense everything is subjective when you squint hard enough but I’m also talking about very clear and concrete things.

Just to give one simple example. Take the concept of a mixin where you want to essentially create a partial class interface and use it for basic composition. An incredibly straightforward 101 level OOP concept.

Then take a look at how it works in Typescript here:

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/mixins.html

and contrast that with how you do the same thing in Dart here:

https://dart.dev/language/mixins

I’ve got extensive experience with both. I promise you Dart is much much much nicer to work with on every relevant metric I can think of.

What do you find attractive WRT JSX versus other templating syntax?

Perfect world:

JS and CSS compile to native, somehow.

My ability to do this

function App() () { const items = get(url); render(items) }

Does not exist on native. It's 2025. Why is this?

It's because we don't have literate programmers. They don't know how to speak CLEARLY.
