  • sdk

    The Dart SDK, including the VM, dart2js, core libraries, and more.

    • Just walked this great talk by Kasper Lund on Dart2JS, and I see the dart2js compiler source code. Where is the source code for translating to Swift (for MacOS or iOS) or Kotlin (for Android) or C perhaps (for "native" like Linux perhaps)?

  • Flutter

    Flutter makes it easy and fast to build beautiful apps for mobile and beyond

    • I see https://github.com/dart-native/dart_native, but it looks small and references flutter. Flutter's source code leads to ./packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/ios/mac.dart, but I'm not sure I'm seeing the compiler to generate what I would think would be Swift code.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

    Write iOS&macOS&Android Code using Dart. This package liberates you from redundant glue code and low performance of Flutter Channel.
