I actually thought that the article was a joke (no offense). It starts off saying "... how you can become more productive and happier", and then: - libraries are needed. And then it proceed to describe how if you want to get something done you have to reinvent the wheel, or port it (which amounts to the same insofar as it slows you down) - Weekly updates (in particular the bit on downloading the new build and trying out the new features). How exactly does having to check for new features (and test them) makes me write better code, faster? - ".. the code becomes a hell to understand. With the Dart syntax, this is a bit more difficult.." Really? I'm sure this one is a typo. Or I'm missing something. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Dart is not cool, or anything (I haven't tried it). But based on the arguments in the article, I simply don't see how exactly the language is a productivity boost..
