Why is javascript files generated by dart is so huge?

I have the following dart code:

$ cat helloworld.dart
main() => print('Hello world!');
$ 

The javascript code generated by the dart compiler for the above code is as follows:

$ cat helloworld.dart.app.js 
function native_ListFactory__new(typeToken, length) {
  return RTT.setTypeInfo(
      new Array(length),
      Array.$lookupRTT(RTT.getTypeInfo(typeToken).typeArgs));
}
function native_ListImplementation__indexOperator(index) {
  return this[index];
}
function native_ListImplementation__indexAssignOperator(index, value) {
  this[index] = value;
}
function native_ListImplementation_get$length() {
  return this.length;
}
function native_ListImplementation__setLength(length) {
  this.length = length;
}
function native_ListImplementation__add(element) {
  this.push(element);
}
function native_BoolImplementation_EQ(other) {
  return typeof other == 'boolean' && this == other;
}
function native_BoolImplementation_toString() {
  return this.toString();
}
