You will probably be disappointed to know that dart is fully statically typed now (with type inference). Still a good language but missing it's dynamic soul. I too thought that gradual typing was a perfect balance.
Oh no!
Well.
What is Gilad up to now, I wonder?
For such a talented researcher, that's gotta be demotivating for him. Bless him.
I guess dart is basically ceylon now but with contravariance? Gradual typing gave it such a unique space.
Gilad left Google last July and is now at Tensyr.

Man, I am way the hell out of date! Thanks for searching that, I appreciate the gesture, I could've just googled it.
I'm glad to see him in a position where he will be able to be more explorative though, that's gotta be a relief for him. I'm sure once flutter started picking up more engineers he probably knew then what the outcome would be and how his directional influence would start to be limited.
