Zig for Dart and Flutter: `dart:ffi`, Native Assets, Struct Bindings, and Mobile Release Builds

A practical two-hour session on Zig for Dart and Flutter, focused on dart:ffi, Native Assets, Struct Bindings, and Mobile Release Builds. The session treats Zig as a native component exposed through C-compatible boundaries, with attention to exported symbols, allocators, packaging, host-runtime tests, and failure handling.

section.description

A practical two-hour session on Zig for Dart and Flutter, focused on dart:ffi, Native Assets, Struct Bindings, and Mobile Release Builds. The session treats Zig as a native component exposed through C-compatible boundaries, with attention to exported symbols, allocators, packaging, host-runtime tests, and failure handling.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

  • Explain the practical boundaries of Zig for Dart and Flutter
  • Apply dart:ffi in a small working example
  • Apply Native Assets in a small working example
  • Apply Struct Bindings in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
