Comparing Dart and TypeScript

• TypeScript

  1,307 98,169 9.9 TypeScript

  TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

  

From the official TypeScript website, “TypeScript is JavaScript with syntax for types.”That definition, on its own, already clarifies a lot about what the language is. Launched back in 2012 by Microsoft, the language is a superset of JavaScript, meaning it was built on top of JavaScript, with new features added to it, such as type checking and resources for classical object-oriented programming.

• sdk

  308 9,824 10.0 Dart

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

  

Among the options for shipping reliable code is static typing, which is a good way to catch errors early in the development cycle. Static typing allows for a faster development process while helping check the correctness of our code. In this article, we'll talk about two languages that offer static typing: Dart and TypeScript. We’ll cover:

• 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.

  

• language

  146 2,560 8.9 TeX

  Design of the Dart language

  

Both Dart and TypeScript are open source languages and hosted on GitHub.

• Home-Fi

  1 127 0.0 Dart

  Home Automation App using Flutter, Adafruit IO & Esp32 dev board.

As previously mentioned, Dart is a general-purpose language, meaning that even with its optimization surrounding client-focused projects, it is also used on the server side, with applications on command-line apps and IoT projects. Here is an example.

• react-native

  525 116,112 10.0 C++

  A framework for building native applications using React

  

Dart has become more and more famous, especially after the release of Flutter, an open source framework that helps with shipping code to different platforms using a single codebase. Similar to that in the JavaScript world is React Native, which offers support for TypeScript by default. Considerations for choosing one or the other when building mobile apps is a topic for a more robust blog post, though.

• pub-dev

  358 765 9.7 Dart

  The pub.dev website

  

At the time of writing, Dart sdk repository on GitHub has over 8.5K stars and its package repository (pub.dev) for the language and for Flutter has over 29,000 packages.

• Flutter

  1,204 162,070 10.0 Dart

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