Any particular reason why this package only supports Dart >=1.9.0-edge? #5

It's a bit tough to get the latest builds of Dart from source - not that it's impossible, just a hassle the way they have it set up. Is there any particular reason why this package wouldn't be compatible with 1.8.5 (current stable)?

The original developer wishes for this only to operate with latest version, as for his reasoning I was unable to contact him at the time of this posting to inquire. I think due to async/await calls if I remember the justification correctly from conversations on IRC, but I am not entirely sure. There are "nightly" binaries to 1.9 you can download (and avoid compiling from source). https://www.dartlang.org/tools/download-archive/

As well, you can manually modify the version required but surely that will of course come with the caveat that it's not supported/recommended to go against the dep and have unforeseen consequences.

Thanks for the quick reply and link to the download-archive - I wasn't even aware of it.

Yes :) Async/Await and also the synchronous IO related to stdout
