# What is Dart ?

So, We will divide the line into 3 parts:

1-**What is a Client Optimized Language in General?**
The programming language optimized for crafting beautiful user interfaces and high-quality experiences is a Client Optimized Programming Language.

2-**It says Dart can be used for fast apps.**
So, guys talking about dart's speed, if we compare dart with few other OOP languages like java or especially javascript, dart is **2x faster**.

The reason is that dart can complie at both the Run-Time (JIT) or Ahead-of-time(AOT).

The difference between JIT and AOT Compilation:

In** JIT** (Just in Time) compliation the complier converts program source code into native machine code just before program execution.

In **AOT** compiliation works by compiling your code before the runtime environment runs the code. The AOT compiler is typically used when the app is ready to be deployed.

3-**Then it states Dart can be used on any Platform.**
       Yes, Dart runs on any platform, whether you’re creating a Mobile app, Web app, 
       Command-line script, or Server-side app. Due to Flexible compiler technology Dart 
       code can run depending on your target platform.

**Few Features of Dart:**
1-Getting started with dart is very easy. We don't even need to install anything. 
   Directly hit the **Dartpad** which is an open-source tool that lets you play with the Dart language in any modern browser.

2-Second most interesting thing about dart is it is **Open Source** which means that if you see a bug, you can immediately report it, or fix it yourself. This is something a lot of programming languages lack.

3-Dart is easy to **scale** whether you are working with a small database with 100 
  records or a large set with 1 million.

4-Dart is consistently updating which inturn indicates its **active development**.

 5-Dart has its own **package manager** called **Pub**.

6-Dart has built in support for different types of **Testing** like Unit Testing, 
 Integration  Testing, and Component Testing.

7-Dart when used in Web Applications, is transpiled to JavaScript so it runs on all 
    web browsers.

8-The Dart installation comes with a Dart VM as well to run the .dart files from a 
   command-line interface.

Lastly, Let me know what do you feel about Dart. If you enjoyed this blog post, share it with a friend! Thank you 🖤
