Deep dives
Development and Interoperability
The initial focus of Closure Dart development was on creating a seamless interoperability layer, which is crucial for leveraging existing platform features. This was achieved by ensuring that Closure Dart could effectively integrate with Dart’s strong typing and runtime behavior. The development team first prioritized getting interop functionality operational, leading to successful execution of interop-based programs. This foundational work enables Closure Dart to reach into the Dart ecosystem while maintaining the core principles that define Clojure.
