We'll be kicking off our first meetup of the year at TTT Studios, who have generously donated our space for the evening – thanks! <3
These Dart demos can be run from the command line with dart main.dart. To use them as a basic local REPL, add a filewatcher (during the presentation, I used filewatcher to refresh on every save with the command filewatcher * "clear && dart main.dart").
