I'll be honest it looks like a worse JavaScript with aspects of Java thrown in. It was developed before ES 2015+ was mainstream and one of its biggest draws (Flutter) was supplanted by React and React Native.
It looked interesting when I first saw it but the landscape has changed since then.
What would it take for you to make something with it? I've seen some of your work(awesome by the way) and would be great to get your experience of having ported one of them to Dart.
Oh thank you! Iβm glad you like it π
I typically try to stay as vanilla as possible with my JS since I like to stay close to the browser and recent ES improvements have made JS really simple to do difficult things but Iβll take another look and see what I can do π
Yes! I found that but when I tried adding Dart to my gulp process with gulp-dart I ran into an error even though I had downloaded the Dart SDK and added it to my PATH. I tried compiling some files manually and I also found that a 'hello world' to the console generated a js file with ~3k lines. I think Dart might be too closely tied to the Flutter framework so for now at least I think I'll be sticking with vanilla JS and Typescript

Thanks for the response Sean. Did you use it too when you first encountered Dart?
I never got to the point of making anything meaningful with it, but I love analyzing languages so I read through a lot of docs and tutorials

Edit: I donβt know exactly what changed but dart 2 looks really nice. If I can find a gulp/vscode plugin it looks it could be a lot of fun π€
You're in good fortune my friend because there is one π€
