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.
