Dart is a programming language designed by Lars Bak and Kasper Lund and developed by Google, used to build web, server, desktop, and mobile applications. It is an object-oriented, class-based, garbage-collected language with C-style syntax. Dart can compile to machine code, JavaScript, or WebAssembly, and is the language used to build applications with the Flutter framework, also developed by Google.
Dart is an open source, general-purpose programming language created in 2011 by Lars Bak and originally developed at Google. It was later approved as a standard by Ecma, which published it as ECMA-408. Programmers use it to build web, server and mobile applications, and also for Internet of Things devices. The language is released as open-source software under a permissive free software license, described as a modified BSD license. Its feature set includes classes, inheritance, exceptions, constants, operator overloading and async and await for asynchronous code, with strings, booleans and conditionals as expected of a mainstream language. Early development of Dart took place inside Google, and the language has a large public code base, with hundreds of thousands of repositories on GitHub.

Connections
Held Differently
Dart was pitched as a potential alternative to JavaScript for the web (raising "fragmenting the web" concerns over a planned Dart VM in Chrome); those plans were dropped in 2015 and focus shifted to compiling Dart to JavaScript. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dart_(programming_language)
