Why Isolates, Not Threads

Understand Dart's memory-isolated model.

One Thread by Default

Your Dart code runs on a single isolate, a worker with its own memory and event loop. Everything happens here unless you ask for more.

What Isolate Means

The name says it all: each isolate is isolated. It cannot reach into another isolate's variables or objects directly. 🔒
