For sure. Its only real use case is Flutter right now.

If Dart decided to expand things would get interesting.

That said, I really enjoy its focus on Flutter.

Where it's commonly used is not its use-case. It can be used for a number of other cases.

Outside Flutter it has nothing to offer versus Java, Kotlin, Scala, Kotlin, C#, F#, OCaml, Haskell, Rust, Go, C++, ...

Lesser libraries, lesser IDE tooling, smaller community, no must have cases,...

Lesser doesn't mean nothing, right?

It also doesn't mean it covers use cases that matter to most folks.

Oh, the package is apparently supposed to replace dart:html
