Future of Dart Panel
summary
Discussion focuses on concrete roadmap items and tradeoffs: language evolution balances breakage versus duplication, so expect sealed classes expanding while enums remain and no quick removal of older switch statement forms; package lints drive style (the remove const lint decision is current). Engineering work targets native interop and threading merge for seamless iOS/Android/desktop calls, DDC changes to reintroduce runtime indirection for hot reload, experiments with bytecode for updatable UI/AI, WASM experiments, and ongoing VM and tooling contribution barriers. No firm dates.
