Dart is Google's Silverlight.
- michaelwww 14y agoActionScript/Flash and .NET/SilverLight require a plugin, with Dart the "plugin" is optional.
- ttrreeww 14y agoIt's called the Dart Runtime which is not included in non Google browsers.
- dragonwriter 14y agoExcept: 1. The Dart VM isn't included in Google's generally-released browsers, either (it's included in Dartium, the special version of Chromium bundled with the Dart SDK). 2. The Dart VM isn't a plug-in. 3. As Dart compiles to JS, you don't need the Dart VM to run code developed with Dart, you just need a browser that supports JS.
- sethladd 14y agoA couple of clarifications: * Dart compiles to JavaScript, Silverlight did not. * Dart is actively being developed, Silverlight is not. * Dart does not require any plugins, Silverlight did. * Dart natively supports the DOM, Silverlight did not. [disclaimer: I work on the Dart team]
