Dart is a programming language developed by Google in 2011. It is an object-oriented language that is designed to be easy to learn and use for building web, mobile, and desktop applications. It is a statically typed language, meaning that the type of a variable is determined at compile time, and it supports both just-in-time (JIT) and ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation.
Dart has a syntax that is similar to other popular programming languages like Java, C++, and JavaScript. It supports features like classes, interfaces, mixins, async/await, and a variety of built-in types like strings, lists, and maps. Dart also includes a package manager called Pub, which makes it easy to use and share third-party libraries.
One of the unique features of Dart is its support for both client-side and server-side development. Dart can be compiled to JavaScript for use in web browsers, or it can be run natively on the server with the Dart VM. This makes it possible to use the same language and codebase for both the front-end and back-end of a web application.
Dart is also the primary language used for developing applications for Google's mobile operating system, Android. With the introduction of Flutter, a mobile app development framework built with Dart, it has become even easier to create high-performance, cross-platform mobile apps for both Android and iOS using a single codebase.
