Dartlang thread

So Holla Forums, why aren't you writing your server applications in Dart, and your user applications in Dart (with Flutter)?

flutter.io/

Google's AdWords, their main source of income, was rewritten in Dart (from Java), and Flutter is going to overtake Qt, Gnome, wxWidgets, React Native, and other user application cross-platform libraries/frameworks over the next year or two.

If I wanted something running in a VM, I'd use Limbo.

Just reading about Dart now. I've been aware of it for years, but always ignored it as some probably slightly less disgusting JS.
It seems to be moving towards a statically typed and compiled language with version 2.0.
It also seems a lot like Java in it's OOPiness, but much less verbose and not so horribly designed.
I do hate Google though, so I'm not sure I should try something that might be very attached to them...

free software can't be really attached. unless it depends on nonfree software.
at the very worst, you will have to pretend it's abandoned by authors at some point.

because rust exists
flutter is mobile only????????????

I thought google abandonded this years ago. Is it still going?

It's gradually becoming an aotc language, particularly with Dart 2.0, where types are mandatory rather than optional, and you need to specify 'dynamic' for any variable with dynamic typing, which makes aotc easier.
