The VM gets Dart source and must evaluate it according to the spec.

Thanks Florian,

Does the Dart VM that is currently in development (javascript
compilation aside) use a bytecode representation internally, or does
it directly compile to instructions for the target hardware platform?
If bytecodes are used, is there going to be publicly available
documentation of the bytecode instruction set?

Thanks,

No bytecodes are used in the VM currently, the input to the compilers is AST generated by the Dart parser. We do not plan to "standardize" any of the current or future intermediate representations.
