Announcing Dart 2 Stable and the Dart Web Platform
Reading the few comments here is really interesting.<p>Every-time there is a discussion about Dart , people talk about Flutter... they very rarely talk about Dart on the Server or on the Web...<p>A while ago I considered using Dart to build a Web API. I was shocked by the non-existent ecosystem around this language.<p>The Redis package has been un-maintained for almost three years now, and Angular Dart is always a few version behind the TypeScript version and doesn&#x27;t support SSR.<p>I was also very surprised that Google during dart conf never commented on using Dart on the server but instead always insisted on using it for their clients (Web and Mobile). I think I&#x27;m not lying by saying that a huge part of Google runs on JVM , Go or Python but definitely not on Dart VM.<p>For me Dart is the language that developer needed , but never wanted to use. It failed miserably when it was introduced few years ago, since then JavaScript took off and has become almost a universal language.<p>This is very frustrating seeing how much the language is efficient and well structured but it the same times doesn&#x27;t mean much now seeing how mature JavaScript is becoming.<p>For me Dart took long to become what is it now , and today the only thing that would make people using this language is really Flutter.<p>Beside that , I&#x27;m afraid they are very little reason to use this language.<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dartist&#x2F;redis_client&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dartist&#x2F;redis_client&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master</a>
