-Dart is a newcomer into the realm of programming languages.
-It borrows a lot from other mainstream languages, having as a goal not to deviate too much from
-its JavaScript sibling. Like JavaScript, Dart aims for great browser integration.
+**Dart** is a single threaded, general purpose programming language.
+It borrows a lot from other mainstream languages.
+It supports Streams, Futures(known as Promises in JavaScript), Generics, First-class functions(closures) and static type checking.
+Dart can run in any platform such as Web, CLI, Desktop, Mobile and IoT devices.
 
-Dart's most controversial feature must be its Optional Typing.
+Dart's most controversial feature is its ~~Optional Typing~~ Static Type safety and [Sound Type checks](https://dart.dev/guides/language/sound-dart).
