What is a programming language

Humans use language to express their feelings to each other. With this language, we can do a lot of different things with different people. If we want to do something with a computer, we must tell the computer to do it for us. But a computer doesn’t understand our normal language. The computer understands what 0 and 1 mean in machine language.  Sometimes it is also called binary language, so how can we instruct him to do this job for us. If we want to get the job done with the computer then, of course, we have to speak a computer language so that we can do that job. There are different types of language that can be used to talk or give instructions to a computer.

There are different languages like Bengali, English, Hindi, etc to express people’s thoughts. Many languages have been invented in the evolution of time to communicate or give instructions to the computer. But their job is to instruct a computer to work accordingly. As our language goes, we can express our thoughts, this is the key. In this case, there are some rules, or grammar of the language, according to which we have to speak. In the case of such computer language, there are some rules and regulations that have to be followed So, programming is the process of giving instructions to a computer.

So far three types of programming languages have emerged. That is

1. Machine level language: – The lowest level of programming language in machine level language. It handles binary data 0 and 1
2. Assembly Level Language: – Assembly Level Language is a mid-level language. It consists of a set of instructions in a specific format called commands.
3. High-level language: – When writing a program using low-level language, the codes become much larger and it becomes more difficult to understand and determine the errors. The language that emerges to solve this problem is called high-level language. It is more determined than a low-level language.

What is Cross-Platform

In general, creating a mobile application is a very complex and challenging task. There are many frameworks available, which provide excellent features to develop mobile applications. For developing mobile apps, Android provides a native framework based on Java and Kotlin language, while iOS provides a framework based on Objective-C/Swift language. Thus, we need two different languages and frameworks to develop applications for both OS. Today, to overcome form this complexity, there are several frameworks have introduced that support both OS along with desktop apps. These types of frameworks are known as cross-platform development tools.  

What is Dart programming

Dart is an open-source, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Google in 2011 with C-style syntax. . Dart began to pay more attention in 2013 when Google officially announced the Flutter Beta for the development of the Google Cross-Platform mobile application. It creates mobile applications inspired by other application languages such as Java, JavaScript, and C#. The most popular opensource software development kit ‘Flutter’ is based on Dart Programming Language.

Dart’s first version was released in 2013 November & Dart’s latest version was released in 2022 May.

Dart’s handshake begins with two programmers. They are

 Lars Bak

 Kasper Lund

Lars Bak: Lars Bak is a computer programmer who lives in Denmark. He is born in 1965. He is known as a JavaScript expert and for his work on virtual machines.

The V8 contributed to the Chrome browser by creating the JavaScript engine Lars Bak.

Kasper Lund: Kasper Lund is a Software Engineer, Who lives in Aarhus, Midtjylland, Denmark. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of Toit. At first, he worked as a Software Developer at Google.

Why do we use Dart language

Dart is a client-oriented programming language for creating quick apps on any platform. Its purpose is to provide the most productive programming language for cross-platform development and a flexible runtime platform for app frameworks. To be a hybrid app developer you need to learn Dart. Because with Dart, Android, iOS, and Google’s OS version Fuchsia will be developed by Dart. If you want to be a hybrid app developer, it is important to learn Dart and Flutter. Flutter is a kind of framework.

Advantages of Dart

1. The first advantage is that it is easy to learn. Any JavaScript programmer can quickly learn how to write code in Dart. To do this, they simply need to familiarize themselves with the basic principles of this programming language.
2. The second is a lot of documentation. Since Google is creating an interpreter for Dart, all the features of the language have been described in detail. This helps you to get quick answers to any question while writing code directly.
3. The third advantage is its high efficiency. Programs written in DART tend to run faster than programs created in JavaScript etc 4. Dart supports all major operating systems.
4. Dart is one code based application ( Android / IOS)
5. Expressive and Flexible UI.
6. App performance->Higher at 60fps animation standard.

Disadvantages of Dart

1. The first disadvantage is that Dart has very limited resources online and it is difficult to find a solution to the problem. This is because of the lack of a large and integrated developer community that will support you. But it increases day by day.
2. Dart is fairly new to programmers and rarely used in the market. So if you are looking for a job in this position, it will be difficult to find a company with vacancies for Dart programmers, because it is not yet widely spread. 3. Dart is currently under the control of developers. This is exciting, and it’s not something “wrong” with DART, but if you start DART development now, there is a possibility that the API will change day by day.
3. Not so much stable version.

Flutter Developer Salary

Flutter Developer is considered a hybrid programmer. Average Flutter Developer salary by experience:

• Beginner or entry-level: USD-38000(peer years)
• Middle Level: USD-67000(peer years)
• Advanced Level: USD-96000(peer years)

Comparison of Dart and Kotlin

Now let’s talk about which one to choose between Kotlin and Dart. We all know Kotlin is an Android Apps Development language. On the other hand, Dart uses for Developing multiple platforms software/Apps  like Android OS, iOS, and Windows-based software. Moreover, using Dart, a developer will be able to develop Google-centric Operating System Fuchsia OS.

Dart is amazing cross-platform performance on mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Dart provides a programmer with near-native performance on both Android and iOS mobile platforms.

Otherwise, Kotlin also supports cross-platform. That’s called  Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM).

I recommended that, If you are a kotlin developer and want to expand your experience then you shift to Dart. Because you can work on all platforms with one language, that’s called Dart.

Popularity between Kotlin and Dart(flutter)

Kotlin is a programming language and Flutter is a Dart-based

Framework. So they are different types of technologies and get different types of values from a programmer.

Over 2 million programmers have used Flutter/Dart in the last 2 years.

And this number increase day by day.

Kotlin is a modern statically typed programming language used by overall 60% of professional Android developers that productivity, developer satisfaction, and code safety.
