You're missing the point, which is about the speed of JavaScript. No one in the Dart community I read is even talking about getting the Dart VM on other browsers. As far as I'm concerned, it's a development platform. The "Yeah but no other vendors are going to implement the Dart VM" might not be an accurate prediction and has become a hackneyed way to dismiss Dart.
- kyrra 14y agoExactly. The DartVM isn't in Chrome yet and may not be for a while. When you ask people on the Dart team when the DartVM will be integrated into Chrome, you don't get any kind of real answer. The best I've seen them say is that once Dart hits 1.0 (scheduled for this summer), they will start worrying about getting the DartVM into Chrome. But no promises or timelines. The Dart team has realized that selling people on the DartVM will be hard, so they are putting a lot of effort into dart2js. (note: yes yes, there are chromium builds that include the DartVM, but it is not officially part of Chrome yet).
