ECMAScript 2015 vs Dart

Developers should learn ES6 because it is now the baseline for modern JavaScript development, with most browsers and Node meets developers should learn dart primarily for building cross-platform mobile, web, and desktop applications using flutter, which allows for a single codebase with native performance. Here's our take.

ECMAScript 2015

Nice Pick

Developers should learn ES6 because it is now the baseline for modern JavaScript development, with most browsers and Node

Pros

  • +js supporting its features, enabling cleaner and more efficient code
  • +Related to: javascript, typescript

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Dart

Developers should learn Dart primarily for building cross-platform mobile, web, and desktop applications using Flutter, which allows for a single codebase with native performance

Pros

  • +It's also useful for server-side development with frameworks like Aqueduct or Shelf, and for web applications when compiled to JavaScript
  • +Related to: flutter, javascript

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use ECMAScript 2015 if: You want js supporting its features, enabling cleaner and more efficient code and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Dart if: You prioritize it's also useful for server-side development with frameworks like aqueduct or shelf, and for web applications when compiled to javascript over what ECMAScript 2015 offers.

🧊
The Bottom Line
ECMAScript 2015 wins

Developers should learn ES6 because it is now the baseline for modern JavaScript development, with most browsers and Node
