When you write Flutter apps, you use Dart a programming language that was developed by Google. It’s relatively new; the first version of Dart was released on November 14, 2013, and version 2.0 was released in August 2018.
It’s now also an official ECMA standard. It’s open-source, object-oriented, strongly typed, class-defined, and uses a C-style syntax… which is to say, it’s like many other modem programming languages, including Java or c#, and to some extent, even JavaScript.
So, you might be wondering (and you are not alone): why another language? I’m sure there Isn’t a unique answer to that question, but there are some features worth mentioning here that make Dart noteworthy, even without considering Flutter:
• It’s easy to learn: If you have some knowledge of Java, C#, or JavaScript, Dart will L be extremely easy to learn, as you’ll see in the next few pages.
• It’s aimed at productivity: Its syntax is exceptionally concise and easy to read and, debug.
• It can transpile to JavaScript, to maximize compatibility with web development.
• It has a general purpose: You can use it for client-side, server-side, and mobile development.
• As a bonus, Google is deeply involved in this project and has some big plans for Dart, including a new operating system, called Google Fuchsia.
