[vm/bytecode] Remove alignment of sections in bytecode Previously, before switching to compact encoding of bytecode instructions, we had to align bytecode instructions by 4. Since that time sections of bytecode binary were aligned. However, this alignment doesn't work well in AOT mode if dill file contains both bytecode and AST, as other metadata (such as obfuscation prohibitions) may precede bytecode metadata and may make the whole bytecode binary misaligned. This results in incorrect calculation of section offsets, failed assertion assert(writer.offset - start == section.offset); and VM may fail to load bytecode binary with error bytecode_reader.cc: 1368: error: unreachable code In order to fix these problems, extra alignment of bytecode sections is removed.

Dart is:
Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation
Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app
Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web
Dart has flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:
Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.
Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
Dart is free and open source.
