Introduction To Dart

It is developed by Google and is used to build web, server, desktop, and mobile applications. Dart is an object-oriented, garbage-collected, class-based language with ‘C’ language style syntax. Dart can compile to either JavaScript or native code. It supports mixins, interfaces, reified generics, abstract classes, and type inference.
