Leave it to the guy who finds any excuse possible to talk about how great Erlang is to create a perceived controversy for a new programming language so he can defend it -- and, tangentially, Erlang. Dart actually looks pretty good, and since it can be compiled into JavaScript, there's no real risk in giving it a shot other than the obvious lack of user libraries, at this point. If Dart solves problems JavaScript has without introducing its own laundry list of wonky inconsistencies, then it's definitely worth developing with and participating in.
