Hello Guix!

In the last few months I've been working on the dart compiler.

Dart is a programming language by google [1], mostly used with the UI
Framework flutter [2].  When the android-sdk will be available on guix,
it should be possible to use dart+flutter to write android programs.

As you can guess, dart compiler is written in dart.  The latest stable
version is 2.10.  Luckily, I was able to compile an old 2.0.0-dev
version from source.  Using this version, I could build the following:

2.0.0-dev.8.0 -> 2.0.0-dev.20.0 -> 2.0.0-dev.24.0 -> 2.0.0-dev.36.0 ->
2.0.0-dev.42.0 -> 2.0.0-dev.54.0 -> 2.0.0-dev.65.0 -> 2.0.0-dev.65.0-2
-> 2.0.0-dev.66.0 -> 2.0.0-dev.67.0 -> 2.1.0-dev5.0 -> 2.1.0-dev6.0 ->
2.2.0 -> 2.4.0 -> 2.5.0

I should be able to build the latest stable (2.10) with some more work
using version 2.5.

I'm polishing the code a bit, and then I'll submit the patches.
However, the codebase is enormous, and the download page says that
analytics are enabled by default (but they can be disabled).  I'd patch
the analytic part disabling it all.  However, is there some process that
the package should undergo?  Like, we have ungoogled-chromium, but I
know of no project that has "ungoogled" dart.

What is the way forward?
Thanks, Nicolò
