Dart is alive and getting better with each release. I'm coding with Dart for 7 months now. I'm using it in production and don't want to look back. I'm not javascript hater, in fact i like javascript but Dart gives me much more - better app design, better performance, better productivity. The only downside is the libraries available (although growing constantly) - needs more time. We've ported relatively big javascript application (around 50k rows of code) and we're quite happy with the final result (hope never to write big javascript app again).
- rogerbinns 12y agoHow big was the code in javascript versus in dart? The smaller the latter number the more compelling dart becomes.
- pisabev 12y agoInitially the dart vs javascript code were almost 1:1(compiled ~ 2 : 1) at size We needed it to get it working first. But then we started to use some dart conventions and the code shrink. The compiled version is still bigger than compiled js though, but for me the real benefit here is the structure of the code - it is getting more and more manageble. The app is very close to ExtJS (custom windows like app)
