I like your post since it's a refreshing take on today's language and framework decisions. Usually people go for Coffee, Node, Go, Clojure or ClojureScript nowadays (I mixed FE and BE tech deliberately).
What I am interested in: Why did you go for Dart? What was the trigger? When I look at Google Trends Dart seems to have a very hard time compared to other current technologies regarding search popularity.
And what's your backend based on? Could I go for Dart with Node?
- ahoge 14y agoYou could write the back-end in Dart, too. The Dart VM can do IO out-of-the-box. Just like the Node executable, it can be used to run command line scripts, web servers, or anything else you can think of. Anyhow, since the front-end only communicates with the back-end via standardized protocols (say, HTTP or WebSockets), it doesn't matter what's used on the server-side. These two parts are completely decoupled.
