Working on a project that I kind of want to use the same language for the frontend and the backend. There's, obviously, vanilla JS, maybe clojure and clojurescript, but Dart...

For some reason I never realized it could be used server side. Anyone have any practical experience with an app built entirely in Dart?

It works. There are a few people using it server side. There is a Heroku build pack. The HTTP server is a bit slow, sounds like this is being addressed, and shouldn't be a limiting factor. I wrote a postgresql driver, which works ok. More users, issues filed and patches are always welcome ;)

Now if meteorjs does Dart too... one language to rule them all
