A sensational tech article based on the kneejerk reactions of HN :(
This project has a lot of potential and is extremely ambitious. This immediate "my favourite feature x" is missing, or petty bickering over semi colons betrays lack of insight, and depth.
- tagawa 15y agoIt's not just missing features or bickering over semi-colons - the much bigger issue is the fragmentation highlighted by Brendan Eich and quoted in the article.
- michaelcampbell 15y agoI'm sure the CEO of Myspace was similarly furrowing his brow when Facebook came out. The guy "on the top" is always going to FUD and poo-poo the upstarts. Whether they make it or not should be left to their own merits, not what issues the existing hegemony has with it.
- kevingadd 15y agoAny completely unfinished project has 'tons of potential'. Saying that Dart is extremely ambitious simply isn't supported by what Google has currently released, even if the leaked memo had suggested ambition. Too much of what Dart actually does could be done as a JS library, and as a result, the remainder has a hard time looking impressive when you're talking about an entirely new language and toolchain.
- masklinn 15y ago> This project [...] is extremely ambitious Could you point out what you think is ambitious about it, apart from the ambition of trying to replace javascript of course?
