While the server side is still growing and obviously not as huge as Java etc., Dart definitely is being used on the backend. For instance, https://pub.dev/ https://pub.dev/ itself is written in Dart: https://github.com/dart-lang/pub-dev https://github.com/dart-lang/pub-dev . :)
The language, like any other, does have some weaker parts, but in general is _very_ nice to write in - thanks to both the language itself and the toolchain built around it.
The apps compile to native binaries for production and are run in Dart VM during development. The SDK is multi purpose. You can write "scripts", you can write CLI apps, servers and with Flutter - the rest of them.
- brabel 1mo agoFor production you may consider using dart VM also since it benefits from AOT and can actually be faster than a binary after it gets hot, similar to Java.
- 0rzech 1mo agoCorrect. At the cost of using more RAM, of course.
- mraleph 1mo agoNo, we (Dart team) recommend to deploy everything in AOT mode. JIT mode is only for development, and its performance has not been a priority for a while now.
- brabel 1mo agoWow thanks for letting me know. Sorry for misreporting, it is true in Java but I didn’t double check for Dart, my bad.
