Not only have used in non trivial situations but 1000% would use again and now consider it my default go to language of choice.
As mentioned elsewhere in this thread it clearly DOES do well at exceptional scale given that the majority of Google’s revenue is all run through Dart. It’s also a really critical part of the new operating system they are currently spending stupid amounts of money building.
It’s funny that you mention TypeScript because for me every time I touch it I wish it was Dart for a million different reasons.
Not sure when the last time you used Dart but some of the things you mentioned gave me the impression it was either a while ago or you were doing some very specific stuff with it. I absolutely do not associate Dart with large amounts of boilerplate and especially not compared to a language like Java.
The package you mentioned built_value was just a clone of auto value in Java and similar to how the language made auto value no longer needed the same is happening in Dart this year as they are bringing in the concept of static metaprogramming to remove the limitations that lead to its initial existence.
I actually think of it as having the best language ergonomics of any C style language I’ve ever seen.

Guess we value different things…
