As the server-side part becomes more complex, developers will need to leverage the existing software. So, does Dart support interfacing with the native libraries (C libraries, in particular)?

Flutter mobile and desktop apps can use the dart:ffi library to call native C APIs. FFI stands for foreign function interface. Other terms for similar functionality include native interface and language bindings. Note: This page describes using the dart:ffi library in Android apps.
Yes. Dart programs can be compiled to native x64 machine code for running in a Terminal/Command Prompt on desktop operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. For more details, see the dart compile documentation.
Dart has a rich set of core libraries that provide essentials for many everyday programming tasks such as working on collections of objects ( dart:collection ), making calculations ( dart:math ), and encoding/decoding data ( dart:convert ). Additional APIs are available in commonly used packages.
Flutter can be embedded into your existing Android application piecemeal, as a source code Gradle subproject or as AARs. The integration flow can be done using the Android Studio IDE with the Flutter plugin or manually.
Yes, it is quite possible, here is the official guide.
Dart programs running on the standalone Dart VM (command-line apps) can call C or C++ functions in a shared library, by means of native extensions. This article shows how to write and build such native extensions on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
You can provide two types of native extensions: asynchronous or synchronous. An asynchronous extension runs a native function on a separate thread, scheduled by the Dart VM. A synchronous extension uses the Dart virtual machine library’s C API (the Dart Embedding API) directly and runs on the same thread as the Dart isolate. An asynchronous function is called by sending a message to a Dart port, receiving the response on a reply port.
