Dart VM != Dart server in this case.
The focus of Dart 2 and beyond is the client side [0].
You can definitely run Dart in the VM, but beyond the HttpServer API, server-side support is mostly a community effort.
My point isn't that this is a bad thing, it's that it makes sense for Firebase to be promoted because Dart doesn't have _official_ server-side support.

- boustrophedon 8y agoI just think saying that it doesn't have "server-side support" is misleading. It makes it sound as though you'd need third-party code to run on the server at all. I do agree they have pivoted to a more client-sided branding though.
- wmleler 8y agoOur focusing on the client doesn't mean you can't use Dart on the server. In fact, we (the Flutter team) use it on the server. Analogy: JavaScript is focused on the client too, but people also use it on the server.
