How's dart as a server ?

• bovermyer 8y ago
  I believe that Google is now pushing Dart only for mobile development, and that the server-side Dart is dead on the vine. I could be wrong, but that's the impression I got.

    Server side is not dead, just dont expect them to make a Ruby on Rails kind of framework.

    It's not dead, we (the Dart team) just haven't had the bandwidth to invest much in it for a while. It's still supported. Most of our own tools — compiler, analysis server, formatter, etc. — are all written in Dart, so we are heavily entrenched in Dart being a good tool for command-line applications. Being a good server-side language is a little different because then the ecosystem needs get much larger. You need things like database bindings, logging, etc. The current ecosystem for that on Dart isn't large but I hope we get there eventually.

  Very comparable with node.
