Agreed. This is about https://www.dartlang.org/guides/language/language-tour, right? It predates DartPad (and, in fact, was published as a book first) but we should update everything to have a DartPad and, perhaps, use...

Current thinking is that making _everything_ a DartPad would be rather overwhelming, and that we should instead make the first one an embedded DartPad. After that, we'd use DartPads wherever...

I tried using a DartPad for the first example in the language tour, but unfortunately there's a lag when you first load the page. Bad experience. I'll leave this open,...
