I am surprised at how many people got pissed off by Googlers presenting a new language which also is able to be translated into JavaScript. It sort of reminds me of the bashing of google closure library code.

Take a step back guys. No one wants to step on your toes just to give you a hard time. In the end it will matter how good the tooling is and how good the code optimization will be and I think when we look at the closure compiler and many other developer tools that Google released we can expect greatness.

I might sound like a fanboy but I think it helps to see the bigger picture. It is not only about the JavaScript that the 0.0.1 version of the draft of the runtime is generating …



Until dart suddenly appears in Chrome as a native language to give Chrome a performance boost.
