More Information
DART files can be compiled as JavaScript to run in popular web browsers, run in the Dartium browser (a version of the Chromium web browser that includes a Dart virtual machine and comes with the Dart SDK), or run in a command-line interface of the Dart virtual machine that comes with the Dart SDK.
Dart was originally developed by Google but is now open-source under a Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license. The programming language was intended to supersede JavaScript as the future of the web. However, in 2015 Google announced that the Dart virtual machine would not be integrated into its Chrome web browser. Instead Dart is designed to be compiled into JavaScript using the dart2js compiler.
