I'll be honest: so far, Dart is pretty rubbish for this kind of exercise for the simple reason that their Strings aren't just arrays of chars. There's no native isDigit, for example. Otherwise, I've been using it with Flutter and have been happy with my experience.

I'm only posting code when I think I've done something interesting or if there's a notable language feature to show off, but so far, no dice.
