Google Flutter can now compile to web (project Hummingbird) (techcrunch.com) 27 points by hknd 7y ago ↗ HN
[–] hbcondo714 7y ago ↗ > Hummingbird takes the Dart code that all Flutter applications are written in and then compiles it to JavaScriptIs this going to compete with WebAssembly? [–] IshKebab 7y ago ↗ No. Your question doesn't really make sense. Dart has only ever supported compiling to JavaScript, not webassembly. Webassembly doesn't support garbage collection yet so compiling GC'd languages to it is very inefficient at the moment.
