- lmm 12y agoI'm not entirely surprised. Protobuf requires native code, and not many developers care about Windows. It's likely not going to take a lot of work to fix it. But yeah, small, immature language (and not a million miles away from the experience in vanilla JS - I've encountered plenty of e.g. grunt plugins that don't work on Windows either. Even in Ruby there are things that break). I think you're expecting too much from Dart. If you want a rock-solid corporate language, it's not there yet; nor is any language of comparable age. You're going to have to get your hands dirty now and again.
