Sorry to do the picky thing and criticise a completely unrelated feature, but I wonder if we have, or are about to, reach peak "happy mandolin and animation" marketing videos. That is starting to feel old to me, early 2010s.
As for the actual content: they really buried the fact that it's based on Dart. Saying that only that it "also works on dart 2" It's almost as if they don't think that's a feature.
- linkmotif 9y agoI keep hoping but year after year these videos are still here.
- mixmastamyk 9y agoWhat alternative for a friendly intro would you suggest?
- linkmotif 9y agoI wouldn’t... I think people must like them?
- wastedhours 9y agoSeems old, but it actually tends to convey the point more succinctly than a real-worlder. Plus, often it's because the iconography is also being developed for the rest of the asset suite, so it's faster/easier to do that with some fancy animation, than it is to do a different format. I'd love to see more developer-talking heads (and something I want to film more of on the freelance side), but it's more expensive than the happy-mandolin-and-animation approach. Again, on the actual content, I found that too. It seems as though Google are really trying to hide Dart, I'm not sure what the play is.
