Defining Dart

Dart is a language and platform for modern web applications that can run both in the web browser and on the server. The Dart language, tools, and API allow innovative, productive, enlightened, and talented developers (that's you!) to write scalable web applications that make the best of the modern Web.

With Dart, you can take a leap forward in web development and tooling. It is a clean, modern, yet familiar language syntax that runs on a platform created by the world's leading virtual machine experts.

Dart is run as an open source project with a defined process for enhancement proposals. It has flexible libraries with common documentation packaging, unit testing, and dependency resolution. The language became an ECMA standard in July of 2014, and does not require any plugin for end users to run as it is compiled to JavaScript.

If that is not enough, you can bring your existing HTML, CSS, JavaScript skills, and even code along for the ride—Dart plays nicely with others!
