Background We build a bunch of stuff for RISC-V using the Dart official Docker image, but the RISC-V images can often arrive some time (days) after the more mainstream images[1]. That means that if we merge a Dependabot PR for an updated image it might well be missing RISC-V, causing the Continuous Delivery (CD) pipeline […]

TL;DR Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA) attestations are a great way to show that you care about security, and they’re fairly trivial to add to delivery pipelines that produce a single binary or container image. But things get tricky with matrix jobs that build lots of things in parallel, as you then need to […]

TL;DR PyPI provides a neat way of distributing binaries from other languages, and Python venvs make it easy to run different versions side by side. This post takes a look at how to do that with Dart, and the next steps necessary to do a proper job of it. Background A few days ago I […]

One of my favourite features of Dart is its ability to create executables (aka ahead of time [AOT] binaries)[1]. Creating binaries for the platform you’re running on is very straightforward, just dart compile exe but Dart doesn’t presently support cross compilation for command line binaries, unlike Rust and Go, which have also surged in popularity. […]

TL;DR I’ve been using Advent of Code as a way to practice Dart, try out ChatGPT, and learn from how other people approach the problems. ChatGPT quickly disappointed, but there’s still been plenty to learn, and I’ve found some things I’ll definitely take into my future coding. Also (value judgement here) I’m finding it much […]
