To clarify, you can compile dart to javascript, | albeit more commonly to machine code. | justmedep wrote: | It does if you target browsers with your flutter app. | [deleted] | jack_pp wrote: | Installation instructions only for osx and when I go to the try | on Android I'm redirected to a GitHub readme that tells me to | build something with node. | | Seems the docs need a little bit of attention | sandGorgon wrote: | Can I write an entire iOS app using Javascript and compile via | flutter? | | Is there an example - I'm not able to find one. | | That could be killer! | nsonha wrote: | This is how I would be interested in using Flutter. Honestly the | thing that has been stopping me from doing it is Dart. It's not | that it's a terrible language, it's just a very mediocre one. At | this point in my career, I detest that and will not learn | anything that simply exists for the sake of being difference | instead of offering any actual merit. | chgibb wrote: | Have you looked at https://hydro-sdk.io/ ? | nsonha wrote: | thanks this looks interesting | [deleted] | GeorgeTirebiter wrote: | It would be helpful if you would explain/teach us why Dart is a | mediocre language. With examples if you can. What would you | suggest instead? | nsonha wrote: | I could explain it as Dart not having any features other than | what any of the mainstream language has but that would not be | much of an explanation would it? What is special about Dart? | | I'm aware we have plenty of mediocre mainstream languages | existing right now, but they all exist for historical reason | and have rather useful ecosystems. However, to go out of the | way to just make a new lame ass syntax, with zero ecosystem, | and no distinguishable characteristic (which is why Flutter | is always involved in selling it) why would you do that? | | I'm all for new new paradigms, languages that are different | like haskell or scala to flourish and teach us new ways of | thinking, this is not it. | Dig1t wrote: | The link to the Chinese government website in the footer is a | little weird. What is that? Is this project affiliated with | beian.gov.cn? | | Honestly just curious. | arnvald wrote: | I worked for a company where we hosted some stuff in China (on | Alibaba Cloud) and we had to register there and get an ICP | number (it stands for Internet Content Provider). It's | obligatory to display it somewhere on the page. | | Looking at Kraken contributors, they work for Alibaba, so it | seems they host that website in China. | faizshah wrote: | Theres a lot of good info on this on the aws-cn faq: | https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/support/icp/ | [deleted] | beaunative wrote: | Yeah. All public websites need to be registered with the the | government and are assigned a BeiAn code. It's a link to the | registry where you can find who owns and operate the website | with the code listed. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-09-18 23:00 UTC)
