Dart vs JavaScript vs TypeScript

Dart vs JavaScript vs TypeScript

隨著Flutter受到開發者的重視,Google於2011年推出的Dart又重新進入大家關注的視野之內,不過除了Flutter以外,其實Google的開發者早在2016年也推出過Angular Dart,讓開發者以Dart開發網站應用,不過由於Angular Dart對比TypeScript版Angular文本長期不足,因此沒有引起太多關注。Google推出Flutter,可以說為大家對Dart的信心注入了一劑强心針,大家又重新開始關注這個已有8年歷史的程式語言。 本文想介紹的是,就是到底Dart有何特色?與JavaScript比較,又有何優劣?由於TypeScript開始於前端日漸盛行,我們亦可以趁機比較一下三種語言的異同。 應用範圍(Application) 有讀過上一篇Web Technology為何征服世界的朋友,應該已經知道JavaScript跟TypeScript已經可以在網頁、伺服器、智能電話、IOT、人工智能等範疇落地生根,Dart呢?托Flutter的發展,Dart已相當適合同時於網頁、伺服器、智能電話等範圍作開發,這一點與JavaScript已不相上下。不過Dart與JavaScript的最大分別,在於Dart本身可以有三種方法運行:分別是編譯為JavaScript(Compiled To JavaScript)、由Dart VM獨立運行(Standalone By Dart VM)、AOT編譯為機械碼(Ahead-of-time compiled to machine code). 而JavaScript現時最流行的做法,都是以Node運行JavaScript。Node運行JavaScript時,會將JavaScript轉變為機械碼(Machine Code),再運行機械碼。亦是因此Node JS的運行速度比其他動態語言如Python、Ruby等都較快。而Flutter所採用的,就是第三種方法,先編譯為機械碼(AOT Compilation)再在智能電話運行,因此大家可能聽過Flutter無需JS Bridge的原因,亦是由於早已編譯為機械碼,所以無需一個額外的JS Bridge再作轉譯。   React Native寫成的手機程式結構如下: Flutter寫成的手機程式結講則如下: 基本運行 理解了Dart、JavaScript、TypeScript各自的應用範圍,就以三種語言都寫一個簡單的hello world為例: JavaScript…

What would happen if we didn’t have to go to college?

This should send a small shiver through the spines of anyone employed in academia: the recruiting site Glassdoor has published a list of companies that no longer require a college degree – including professional heavyweights Google, Apple and Ernst & Young. If firms like these no longer insist upon a sheepskin, it seems just possible that the decades-long trend of requiring more and more education to maintain a toehold in the middle class might reverse.
