dart implementation about grpc-web

[wenbozhu]

Any detail about the so-called http/2 stack in Dart? Are we talking about browser/web clients here?

Web, Native Mobile (using googles https://github.com/flutter/flutter) and Server.
The exact dart code can run on all 3 device archetypes.
Its quite nice in that way.

At the moment Dart supports Protobuf, and has an experimental GRPC repo (https://github.com/mkustermann/grpc-dart-poc).

I knew I wanted to play with dart.

But this raises a serious question: wtf is dart, exactly?

[joeblew99]

:) THere is tons of great docs and examples.

Basically its write once, run everywhere.
WIth flutter is a full GUI Material Design toolkit
Compiles ot AOT
Has Edit and continue debugging and edits direct on a mobile

For Web, many use AngularDart

• Dart can compile to JS 100%. Unlike other frameworks that do this Dart is able to capture everything and gen efficient compact js.

Dart is being also built as the first class language into fuschia and Magenta
I will leave that for you to check out

I suppose once we have a closure based JS library for grpc-web, you could use it as the low-level transport to build the dart surface (same for any other platforms you like to have dart support).
