Hi faby GT

Dart and Flutter are Googles new way for programming on Android. Dart is the language, Flutter is the Ui toolkit. It allows you to develop code that will run on both Android and IOS and style them accordingly.

Currently it is in beta, but many devs have migrated already and deployed to the playstore. There are many advantages to this new pair, one of which is hot reload of the UI when ever you make any changes, so improves the speed at which you can develop.
Still some missing native api's like bluetooth.

There is a lot of sessions on Dart and Flutter at Google io in May, and I would expect this to be the future of Android development.

For Web, Dart can compile to JavaScript, and you would combine this with AngularJS or Polymer for the UI elements.
