Taking a quick look over Dart’s syntax it doesn’t look very difficult to learn. If folks know a C-like language it looks pretty familiar. I’d guess people would spend a lot more time learning the Flutter API, etc than Dart.
- aylmao 8y agoFor a lot of people it's not only the difficulty of learning, but also people get weary their skills might not be marketable for their next job. Marketability goes the other way too-- will this programming language be points-against by future prospective employees? There's also developer experience-- there's a ton of tools available for JavaScript, developed by people across the industry-- and long-term maintainability. JavaScript has a solid record of backwards compatibility and multi-platform support, plus lately its been getting lots of cool new features. Adopting Dart could sound like becoming too dependant on Google and the decisions they make, especially considering that forking or migrating a programming language is a harder than doing so with libraries. I don't know how big all these concerns would are when considering Dart, but it's things organizations thinking of switching/adopting a new programming language need/tend to think about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
