What is Dart?

On any platform, Dart is a client-optimized language for creating quick apps. With a configurable execution runtime platform for app platforms, it aims to provide the most productive programming language for cross-platform development.

The Dart programming language utilizes static type checking to guarantee that a variable’s value always corresponds to the static type of the variable. The Dart typing system is highly adaptable, allowing the usage of a dynamic type together with runtime checks, which might be helpful for code that has to be very dynamic or during experimentation.

System requirements

The Dart SDK is supported on Windows:

  • Supported versions: Windows 10 and 11.
  • Supported architectures: x64, IA32, ARM64.
    Support for ARM64 is experimental, and is available only in the beta and dev channels.
