Looks promising. But didn't see anywhere in the docs how does this work.
* What's the underlying server?
* Does it transpile to Node.js?
* How does the third party module system work?
* Which are other readymade libraries that can be used with this?
It runs directly on the Dart VM, which has its own HTTP server implementation. That's the interesting thing about the Dart VM - it's a C++ executable with no ties to JS. Third party modules may be provided by through Dart's package manager, https://pub.dartlang.org.
It's command-line tool runs the application, but there isn't much from stopping you from just using the `dart` command line tool and a Dart script to start it.
edit: Basically, you can run this on any machine that can install Dart.
