All Go had to do was say, “Built by Google” and people came running.
- elcritch 4y agoWell, the "designed by UNIX co-creator" piece helped too I'm sure.
- silisili 4y agoDart was built by Google, and nobody wants to touch it. Well, a few diehard fans. Go is a nice language that gets a lot right. Saying people only use it because of Google is kinda shortsighted.
- pjmlp 4y agoBecause Chrome kind of sabotaged the project by dropping Dartium, while Angular team decided to sponsor Typescript and moved away from Dart. The language was saved from dying by AdWords, which had just migrated from GWT into AngularDart. Key designers from Dart 1.0 eventually left Google, like Gilad and Lund. Flutter gave it a new life, but also is the only reason to use Dart, Flutter apps.
