Speaking from personal experience I found the process of using dart to be VERY painless. I'm mostly a web developer, but have taken some Java courses in college and have dabbled in a bit of C# outside of my normal PHP/JS work.

We decided to take on an app project at work. We had made one using nativescript-vue, but the experience left much to be desired and I wanted to look for alternatives.

A friend had talked favorably about Flutter so I decided to install and check it out. Within a few hours, I had a pretty good looking MVP of the app we were building (it was very basic to begin with). The experience developing a Flutter app was really good.

It felt like I already knew the language from the get go. It worked pretty much as expected. I only had to google things like async/await because dart writes their functions like `(arg) async => expr` while javascript puts the async before the function `async arg => expr`.

YMMV if you're not using the languages which Dart draws inspiration from I guess. But I'dd be surprised if you feel you would need to spend significant amount of time learning Dart.
