The language

A familiar language.
Built for native software.

A working subset of Dart, built for systems code. Explicit where it matters. Readable where it counts.

Memory, without the mystery.

The compiler inserts reference counting and removes redundant operations. Objects stay put, so C can work with stable pointers.

Every bit has a purpose.

Fixed-width integers. Explicit conversions. Arithmetic that traps on overflow by default. Control that survives compilation.

Bring your own world.

Compile to object files and link with C. Freestanding code can live in firmware, kernels, or the native library you are building next.

Get started

A small start.
A native binary.

v0.1.3 improves memory safety and Windows interoperability, with native iOS and Android targets. Install the compiler on macOS Apple Silicon or Linux through Homebrew, or Windows through Scoop.

Build your first program ↗

MACOS & LINUX

brew tap dotcorr/tap
brew trust --formula dotcorr/tap/dcdart
brew install dcdart

Windows: install with Scoop ↗. Linux requires glibc 2.39 or newer.

Compiling source also requires Dart SDK 3.12.2. Use an explicit prelude path, as shown in the setup guide.
