Building Optimising Compiler for Dart

Explore the development of a new compilation pipeline for the Dart virtual machine in this 31-minute conference talk from Strange Loop 2013. Delve into how Dart's language features, including class-based object-orientation, lexical scoping, closures, and optional static typing, influenced the design of the JIT compiler. Learn from Google software engineer Vyacheslav Egorov as he shares insights on how the team's experience with the V8 JavaScript engine shaped their decisions in building an optimizing compiler for Dart. Gain valuable knowledge about virtual machine technology, compiler design, and the challenges of implementing language features in a JIT compilation environment.
