Thanks. Is dart performance that bad? I thought it compiled to machine code if needed.

With the web support I was hoping the since dart can be transpiled to JS Flutter might do something similar. I'll have to look into this, I'm learning Dart due to its ability to run on most platforms.

It's hard to say with performance (you need to measure), but I'll point out that for the web, Dart is compiled to JavaScript.

Performance is pretty good, but as with JavaScript performance, there are performance cliffs depending on how well V8, SpiderMonkey, or JavaScriptCore is able to optimize the code. An audio worklet is pretty standalone and compute intensive, so it seems like a good place to use WebAssembly.

It's not great. Especially on the web.
