I would like to start a new Nodejs project soon, and I was wondering if I should try out Dart VM instead. I read that Dart VM is not finished yet, but I should already have everything I need (web server, sockets, files i/o), and I would enjoy discovering something new.
Does anyone have experience with both Node and DartVM, and can tell me what are the major differences/problems to expect, or if Dart VM is really not usable for real server side projects yet?
I'm not asking for your personal preferences, but for actual problems I might encounter based on your experience.
JavaScript is an interpreted language, so it might feel lighter and faster. It's actually faster than other compiled languages like Java. However, Dart proved to be much faster when benchmarked against JavaScript. You can refer to the benchmark of Dart against NodeJS here.
DART said the average speed of these light rail vehicles depends on the destination, but they typically reach speeds in the high 60s. They will also go as slow as five miles per hour in certain situations.
Developing a backend with DartDart is great for developing interactive frontends using custom widgets. However, Dart did not have a backend framework like Flutter that is easy to comprehend, suits community development, and utilizes the class structure.
js is an extensively used technology to build high speed and robust applications.
I worked on a small project, a few months ago, using Dart as a server side language. I really enjoyed it and didn't have any specific problem beside the occasional "there's no package for that" - there are way more packages for Node than for Dart. This could be something to consider for development speed (no need to reinvent the wheel). Other than that, everything went fine.
