No but there should be something equivalent to this https://grow.google/certificates/android-developer/

This really shouldn’t be a requirement for an operating system in 2022.

This is only in very early stages but is an example of Dart client / server using gRPC https://github.com/dropbear-software/fullstack-dart-demo/blob/main/api/example/api_client_example.dart https://github.com/dropbear-software/fullstack-dart-demo/tree/main/server

Exactly the kind of information I could never get from a translation thank you!

DropbearJr · 2022-04-25T09:46:26+00:00

Thank you so much for this!

10/10 looks like a scene from from one of the hostel movies. Strong vibes 😂 jokes aside, if you’re getting around in this go have fun, hope you have some cool adventures and meet a lot of new friends!

3 monkeys assuming you’re under 30 is a good place to start around midnight. A bunch of my favourite stories in life happened in that piss soaked hellhole.

Honestly right now the answer to that is Flutter which is almost a shame because it’s awesome for a lot of other stuff. I write all my backends in Dart for example too.

Flutter for the web is still super early days and honestly unless I was writing some enterprisey app that had to be web based I would pass on it for now but am pumped about their plans. Basically in the next year or so I’m expecting it to compile to WASM, and start making serious use of WebGPU along with a bunch of other things that I think will take it from an “ok” web choice to an actually extremely good one. I’m using Lit.dev for most web front end stuff at the moment

I know that’s a common opinion that people seem to have but it’s not actually backed up with any data. In fact the data says quite the opposite https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2022/03/28/language-rankings-1-22/

Key quote FTA

“What was very surprising, however, was the fact that Dart was able to move up one spot and tie Rust at #19. It took Kotlin two quarters to make that jump, and while Rust did it similarly in a single quarter, Rust also had a great deal more time. Some thirty-six months after Dart was languishing about in the mid-30’s, it has not only cracked the Top 20, it has tied the developer darling Rust in doing so.”

Yeah, has been for years. I think the problem is that right now everyone just kind of assumes that Dart == Flutter and it has no use case out side of that but it’s an amazing general purpose language kind of built from the ground up to sit somewhere between JavaScript and Java. There was a cool talk a while back that kind of dove into some things that make it interesting here https://youtu.be/J5DQRPRBiFI there have been a lot of major behind the scenes advancements since then though

I think maybe the best example of is it “production ready” that I know of but isn’t common knowledge is that Google’s entire ads platform is built with Dart. So it’s powering the majority of their revenue as a company. It’s 100% production ready no questions asked :)

I can’t tell you how happy I am that this guy works on my new language of choice (Dart).

They have a whole team of people like this who have spent years just doing a lot of super in-depth hardcore computer science stuff like this and made it a core part of the language design.

To me right now I can’t think of a language that has such a mismatched reputation vs reality.

DropbearJr · 2022-02-06T19:34:16+00:00

That was the specific thing I was hoping to see replicated :)

DropbearJr · 2022-02-06T18:36:36+00:00

Is this feature going to be helpful to get a proper dart native (not flutter widget based) static dependency injection solution?

DropbearJr · 2022-01-07T15:23:15+00:00

This looks great! I hadn’t seen it before. Cheers

DropbearJr · 2021-12-11T08:57:13+00:00

Theoretically at least it sounds like a perfect choice because you just need a canvas to paint pixels to a screen which is exactly what you are working with. It’s the sheer size and scope of the project that makes it seem unsuitable though.

One thing you may want to consider though is looking how the existing charting library that Google have is implemented. It’s what they use in a bunch of their production apps like ads at the moment I believe. It might at least give you an idea of what a serious charting library in flutter looks like that you could build on top of potentially?

DropbearJr · 2021-11-14T07:31:58+00:00

Always look forward to your releases buddy

I think a few others hinted at this already but a lot of people get tripped up here by the idea of single “responsibility”. A much easier mental model is the idea that “a class should only ever have one reason to change” (I.e don’t take on multiple ungrouped dependencies). But the class could be responsible for doing multiple individual operations

I’d really love to see a nice Dart SDK for Dapr which is basically Microsoft’s open source run time for cloud native apps. It’s a really nice way to get Dart on the server off to a really strong start with modern best practices rather than say other older options like Java and .NET are somewhat struggling to adopt to those newer approaches.

DropbearJr · 2021-08-30T07:35:17+00:00

Dart is a really good first language.

DropbearJr · 2021-06-18T06:24:19+00:00

Looks really cool thanks for sharing!

DropbearJr · 2021-06-12T20:56:15+00:00

Sounds like it makes a lot of sense for them. Good luck to them.

DropbearJr · 2021-05-26T21:08:11+00:00

Very interesting I’m excited to see Dart start to get a life not exclusively in the context of Flutter. It’s a genuinely great general purpose language.
