Here's a nice simple article explaining enhanced enums that have been around for a while but may be something overlooked. Between these and sealed classes I think Dart has an excellent story for pattern matching.

Prior to sealed classes, I wished they were more like swift enums that could carry dynamic data and have different associated types per case. Now if I want that, I can do that with a sealed class. It’s still nice to have smarter enums if I need a little extra smarts and want to keep the logic close to the enum.
