Improving your build environment
When building any pieces of software you invariable need to write software to help you write your software.
- build tools
- testing frameworks
- deployment tooling
- on production management systems
Historically these type of tools have been written in bash, powershell, ruby, python etc.
This is all well and good but as a Dart programmer life would be so much easier if you could write these tools in Dart.
Dart also has some significant advantages over each of the existing solutions.
- as single install includes all your build tools
- no dependency hell you typically see with python
- better performance
- ability to deploy an exe with no runtime required
- cross platform
This guide talks about how you can use Dart to improve you build environment and in particular what DCli brings to the table to make your life easier.
