What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI agree, Dart's public-facing codegen system (build_runner) leaves a lot to be desired. (In part the problem is that Dart uses a separate system inside Google.)
However, this is a topic of active work for the Dart team: https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/3800. I'm sure they would welcome your feedback, particularly if you have examples you can share.
You're also always welcome to reach out to me if you have Flutter/Dart concerns. I founded the Flutter project (and briefly led the Dart team) and care a great deal about customer success with both. eric@shorebird.dev reaches me.
In An update on Dart macros and data serializationYeah. Dart's over-rotation on generated code is a googlism. They have a fancy build setup internally which is very good at generated code and caching it.
I know that the build_runner authors are looking into perf as we speak, and I'd be happy to put you in touch with them if you'd like to speak with them about debugging your case:
