Compile Dart to Wasm

[listepo-alterpost]

It would be very cool to add support for the WebAssembly

Yes it would. This is something we are looking at. Thank you.

What, is the effort of webassembly and is there a timeline, for implementation?

[mraleph]

There is no timeline and no work is happening on this at the moment.

[listepo-alterpost]

@mraleph thanks for answer, but how can I know that already happening?

[mraleph]

@listepo-alterpost I am not sure I understand the question. Nothing is happening on this at the moment.

Using this in flutter apps would be a great usecase.

[mraleph]

@b-strauss using it in what way?

[listepo-alterpost]

I guess like Blazor alternative(Hummingbird)

@mraleph

WebAssembly is a cross platform format. If the DartVM had support for it, we could use the same WASM files on mobile Flutter apps as on web Flutter apps (with Hummingbird via calls to the JS WASM API).

[mraleph]

@b-strauss There is definitely no plans to support running WASM binaries on Dart VM. You can run native code on mobile platforms - which means you can run anything you want and you don't need to compile to WASM first.

[b-strauss]

@mraleph You're right of course. But seeing that the target platforms for flutter will grow in the future (Web, Windows, macOS, fuchsia), having a single binary would make targeting these definitely easier. But I'm aware the cost for that would be high. ;)

Any news on this?
