DartUP 2019: results and video reports
On November 23, DartUP was held in St. Petersburg Weavers – the only conference in Russia on Dart and Flutter. This is the second big event organized by Wrike with support from Google. It all started two years ago when Wrike created the Russian-speaking community DartRu, which was officially recognized by Google. During this time, we held several thematic meetings and conferences, and in 2019 we hardly had enough seats for DartUP for everyone.
We want to thank all participants, speakers, hosts and organizers! Without you, DartUP would not have succeeded. For the whole day, we managed to listen to reports in two rooms, compete in CodeBattle, learn about Dart and Flutter firsthand, win prizes, ask questions in a special application and, of course, chat in an informal networking session, drinking everything with specially brewed Dart beer .
A few numbers about DartUP 2019:
- has come 420 guests
- made 14 speakers in Russian and English;
- poll showed satisfaction rate 8.43 out of 10!
If you missed the conference, we want to share with you slides and video recordings of reports:

Artem Kobzar, Wrike – Dissecting Dart VM.
As the documentation says: "Dart is a type of safe language with static and dynamic type checks, which has a type reconstruction mechanism." But the documentation is silent about the most delicious details, namely: how type reconstruction is carried out, what stages of type checking, how runtime checks are built, how FutureOr works, if Union is not provided in the language, etc. Artyom became interested in understanding these issues, and he shared the results of the preparation of Dart VM.
