  • 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

    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:

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support. Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

  • language

    Design of the Dart language

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

  • Home-Fi

    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

    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

    Pub.dev, the Dart package repository, written in Dart

    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

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

    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.
