12 DDC attempts to map to idiomatic EcmaScript 6 (ES6) as cleanly as possible. To do this while cohering to Dart semantics, DDC relies heavily on static type info rmation, static checking, and runtime assertions.	12 DDC attempts to map to idiomatic EcmaScript 6 (ES6) as cleanly as possible.

14 DDC is intended to support a very [large subset](https://github.com/dart-lang/de v_compiler/blob/master/STRONG_MODE.md) of Dart. If a program does not staticall y check, DDC will not result in valid generated code. Our goal is that a progra m execution (of a valid program) that runs without triggering runtime assertions should run the same on other Dart platforms under checked mode or production mo de.	14 DDC is intended to support a very [large subset](https://github.com/dart-lang/de v_compiler/blob/master/STRONG_MODE.md) of Dart.
