What is Dart?
Dart is a client-optimized programming language developed by Google for building fast applications on any platform. It's the language behind Flutter and is also used for server-side development, command-line tools, and web applications.
Why We Use Dart
Dart provides unique advantages that make it our language of choice for many projects:
- Optimized for UI: Designed with UI development in mind, with features like async/await and isolates
- Sound Null Safety: Eliminates null reference exceptions at compile time
- Fast Compilation: Both JIT (for development) and AOT (for production) compilation
- Strong Typing: Static type system with type inference for cleaner code
- Cross-Platform: Write code that runs on mobile, web, server, and desktop
Our Dart Expertise
Our team leverages Dart across the full stack:
- Flutter Development: Building responsive, beautiful mobile UIs
- Backend Services: Dart Frog, Shelf, and custom server implementations
- CLI Tools: Command-line utilities and automation scripts
- Code Generation: Using build_runner for efficient code generation
- Package Development: Creating and maintaining reusable Dart packages
Dart on the Server
Beyond Flutter, we use Dart for backend development with frameworks like Dart Frog, enabling full-stack Dart applications with shared code between client and server.
