I’m personally not a huge fan of Dart’s new dot shorthand syntax. It makes code harder to read, there’s no lint rule to standardize one way or the other, and it just adds more complexity to a language which I love for its simplicity.

Hey, folks! The Flutter team is doing a livestream next week, which will include a Q&A. Anything you'd like to ask the engineering, DevRel, and product leads?
Questions about the roadmap, new features, the craziest place they've seen someone get Flutter running, all of these are valid topics. 😀
