Dart String Iterable interface

Question

Why doesn't Dart String class implement the iterable interface? It seems like there is an obvious notion of iteration for strings, i.e. just return each character in turn.

Answer 1

Maybe not that terse as you would like

String s = 'foo';
s.codeUnits.forEach((f) => print(new String.fromCharCode(f)));
s.runes.forEach((f) => print(new String.fromCharCode(f)));
