Thanks for replying, but I don't actually see the answer to my question here. They read like post-hoc rationalization, i.e., Given that Dart was chosen, what are some attributes of it that programmers found desirable? Several other languages offer most of these desired features. Did anyone compare the effort required to add the remaining requirements to an existing language? That's what would make it an engineering decision. Even if Dart somehow takes zero effort to learn, I'm still not convinced it was a net win.
