Its Android apps with no Java, a focus on speed, and deep unification with the Web.
Dart is a creation by members of Chromes V8 Javascript engine team.
The Dart on Android project was recently displayed by the group at a Dart Developer Summit.
Dart on Android isnt called something obvious like Dart on Android,its going by the name of Sky.
The biggest goals for Sky is to be fast and responsive.
The smoothness standard most devices and app developers aim for is 60FPS (or Hz).
A demo app was brought by the Dart team, which provided entire frames in 1.2ms.
Skys Web background moves over to the mobile space.
Its platform skepticthe code can run on Android, iOS, or anything with a Dart VM.
Apps work a little like websites, too.
Everything is internet aware, as URLs form the base layer of DART.
Also, the app takes a second or two to start because it needs to download data.
Though both of these could be solved with caching.
Development is a lot easier if it served over HTTP.
Then the app just needs to be closed and opened again to refresh it with the new code.
Its more like a Web internet tool.
At this point of time, Sky is just an experiment.
Hence, questions like this need to be responded before Sky becomes a serious Android app solution.
