Dart on the frontend. Dart on the backend. Dart everywhere. 🎯

With Dart support now in @Firebase Cloud Functions and the Admin SDK, the dream of a unified Dart stack is officially here.

Time to go full-stack, #FlutterDevs! 🚀

[Seba Gnagnarella @sgnagnarella]

🎯 Dart for Cloud Functions

A massive win for the #Flutter community! You can now write serverless backends in Dart. Share logic across your entire stack and stay in the language you love. (Experimental release) 💙

@schultek_dev Very cool! Do you have a sense of how far one can get with this approach? Are there things that would make this easier to do in Dart?

@CFDevelop @_eseidel If you use Dart with dart:js_interop or package:web, then you *should* be able to access any JS apis the same way , regardless of whether you are using dart2js or dart2wasm. But your Dart code should start up and run faster compiled to wasm.

[Vijay Menon @_vsmenon]

@CFDevelop @_eseidel https://t.co/DSFLN6YJzb

[Vijay Menon @_vsmenon]

@CFDevelop @_eseidel Right. That said, we're finding the cost of JS<=>Wasm on V8 (Chrome/Node) to be very low, and Wasm is getting us closer to native speeds. In the long run, I think it'll make sense to compile Dart to Wasm in environments like these and interop into JS (DOM, React, etc).

[Vijay Menon @_vsmenon]

@_eseidel @CFDevelop I was responding to your "hybrid VM" / "unified GC" comment. :-) Node/V8 with JS and Wasm is already a pretty good version of that. Compiling Dart to Wasm instead of JS is (typically) more performant. I think the right building blocks to build more "seamless" interop.

[Vijay Menon @_vsmenon]

@CFDevelop @_eseidel Wasm (and dart2wasm) is perhaps the better option here. Node should support both JS and Wasm and modern Dart/JS interop should "just work".

@ThomasBurkhartB @mraleph @JayMLang @pythonhubdev @RydMike @nank1ro @gawronlucas I'm not that familiar with F#, but I think their discriminated unions would map to sealed classes in Dart.

I don't think F# supports untagged unions like `int | String`.

[Vijay Menon @_vsmenon]

@ThomasBurkhartB @mraleph @JayMLang @pythonhubdev @RydMike @nank1ro @gawronlucas Just to elaborate a bit, it's really hard to keep a type system fast and sound in the presence of union types - at least for a Dart-like language. I'm not sure I've seen anyone really pull that off, and those properties (fast, sound) are ones we want to keep.
