# The Trend (2025 Data)
dart_growth = 112  # % YoY increase
typescript_decline = 18  # % satisfaction drop
flutter_adoption = 42  # % of new cross-platform apps

The Three Shifts Driving Change

1. Developer Experience Revolution

// Dart's stateful hot reload
void updateUI() {
  setState(() => counter++); // Instant update
}

vs TypeScript's 3-5 second refresh cycles

68% of devs cite this as their #1 frustration (2025 JS Survey)

2. Escaping Type Complexity

// Classic TypeScript complexity
type RecursivePartial<T> = {
  [P in keyof T]?: RecursivePartial<T[P]>
};

Dart wins with:

✅ Java-like simplicity

✅ Sound null safety

✅ No "type gymnastics"

3. Performance Benchmarks

Should You Switch?

Stay with TypeScript if:

• You're web-focused (Angular/React)
• Your team knows TS well
• You need Node.js compatibility

Choose Dart if:

• Cross-platform is your goal
• Dev productivity is crucial
• You want single-codebase apps

Pro Tip:

Try Dart for your next internal tool before committing to big projects.
