I doubt that would help you. The Dart VM is tailored to the Dart language (which in turn was designed with the thought of compiling to JS in mind), it would be suboptimal for anything else. Exceptions happen, but they are very rare.
- taybin 14y agoI remember when the JVM was tailored to the Java language and people declared it too hard to have other languages compile to it.
- azakai 14y agoWell, the fact is that other languages do not run on it at the full speed they could with their own custom VM. It's been many years of effort and dynamic languages on the JVM still do not compete with native dynamic language VMs. But yes, for languages like Scala etc., they run quite well on the JVM, well enough for sure.
