About Dart

Dart is a general-purpose language with sound null safety, pattern matching, records, mixins and isolates for concurrency. The SDK includes the compiler, runtime, core libraries and a package tool for using and publishing packages, and it can be used to write command-line tools.

Dart is also the language behind Flutter, so it is a common install for anyone building Flutter apps. The official site hosts a language tour, library documentation and style guidance.

Strengths

  • Sound null safety and modern language features
  • Language used by Flutter
  • Thorough official documentation and style guide

Limitations

  • Ecosystem is centred on Flutter, with less use elsewhere
