Incompatible rules: always_specify_types

Details

#

AVOID annotating types for function expression parameters.

Annotating types for function expression parameters is usually unnecessary because the parameter types can almost always be inferred from the context, thus making the practice redundant.

BAD:

dart
var names = people.map((Person person) => person.name);

GOOD:

dart
var names = people.map((person) => person.name);

Usage
