What Hacker News says
3 sources> I hope that you built around the Dart Tooling of IntelliJ
Dart's IntelliJ tooling is built on top of a reusable analysis library written in Dart[1]. It exposes a service-like API so that it can be integrated into lots of different editors/IDEs without each having to reinvent the world.
Just to be clear, this is full-featured, rich static analysis, not just parsing and syntax highlighting. The entire static type system of the lanugage, including the new stronger type checking[2] is in there.
The Atom plug-in uses that too.
