[vm/aot/tfa] Tree shake write-only fields So far tree shaking was removing fields which are not used at all. This change improves tree shaking of fields so fields which are only written or used as interface targets can be removed. The following limitations apply: * Field is not removed if there is a constant object with that field, as it may impact identity of constant objects which is an observable behavior. * Field is not removed if it has a non-trivial initializer as it may have side-effects. * Late final fields are not removed, as writing such fields may have side-effect. * When field is removed, we may need to introduce an abstract getter or abstract setter if field is used as a target of an interface call. If a field was written, then setter would be non-abstract (but empty).

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's 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.
