I think that day might be sooner than anyone thinks- Chromium is dominant enough now that their including Dart as a first-class language (or more likely, a successor to Dart) will likely be a viable strategy soon.
Of course, the wildcard is Apple, but ultimately Dart can compile down to JS- being able to write in a far superior language that natively runs on 80% of the market and transpiles to the rest is suddenly much more of a winning proposition.
- shrewduser 6y agoI feel like kotlin is a much better language than dart, has many more use cases and compiles down to javascript also.
- elevenoh 6y agoDart is weak for functional programming / functional way of thinking. Right there, dart lang loses me as a potential user.
