 `flutter_eval` is a Flutter bridge library for [dart_eval](https://pub.dev/packages/dart_eval),

-to work without modification, as various standard library classes and Dart features
-have yet to be implemented.
+Note: While flutter_eval supports most Flutter and Dart features, it does not support all of them. Existing code may need modification to work. You can
