Bigger difference than that. Flutter has you writing in high-level components that become native draw calls using Skia. There's an in-progress back-end that outputs to HTML, Canvas, and CSS paint instead of Skia. You aren't going to be using npm much at all. https://medium.com/flutter-io/hummingbird-building-flutter-f... If you are using Dart without flutter (eg, overReact), then you're going to use npm a bit more (though dart has better builtin libs which helps a bit on that front). There is a generator that uses typescript definition files to generate dart interopt files. https://github.com/dart-lang/js_facade_gen

> Do you have a good recommended article on that? I don't, but I agree it would be useful. We're not where I wish we were in terms of docs right now. > if Dart requires type bindings (like TS .d.ts files) to the large community of JS projects, how does it plan to solve the kickstart problem. We actually have a tool that will generate the proper Dart interop bindings given a TypeScript .d.ts file: https://github.com/dart-lang/js_facade_gen > It's taken TS community many years to over just the popular js libraries out there. Dart is different from TypeScript in that we are deliberately a more batteries-included system. We wrote and maintain a full set of core libraries (collections, async, etc.) and Google has a well-funded team to ship and maintain a full-featured web framework (AngularDart). So we aren't as stuck needing to rely on the JS

ecosystem as TypeScript is. There is still tons of useful functionality that's available in JS and not yet Dart, which is why interop is important, but we have a lot of customers that can get by without needing much or any JS interop.
