I agree.
Also, btw, I think NaCl is wrong for the web, but an amazing technology, designed by super-talented people (I met a few). It solves a very hard problem in an impressive way. It already has other use cases than the web, and I imagine will continue to. For the web, however, as I say I think it is inappropriate, due to portability and standardizability concerns (PNaCl solves some of the portability concerns).
> Yet when Google spent only a few months developing the first Dart, and then released it to the public, and has been iterating on it for 2 years in full public view, and it still isn't even in Chrome nightlies (yet asm.js has already been dumped into Firefox nightlies) the same criticism was leveled at Google from Mozilla.
I think a big part of the PR problem Dart has began with the fact that it was leaked. The leak was an internal document, and it spoke somewhat bluntly - which is fine for an internal document, but it was an unfortunate way for it to be revealed to the world.
