dartjs compiles for use in the browser by making use of the self property. Running on node requires the manual addition of a preamble, which is an unacceptable procedure and runs counter to the purpose of a compiler. The user of the compiler cannot know what other problems need to be solved for execution on the node platform. Dart is advertised as a language that can also be executed on the server side. This issue is particularly relevant for serverless execution.

Summary: Users need a Node.js compilation target for dartjs. Currently, Node.js support requires manual preambles, hindering server-side and serverless use.
