While I think dart is a nice language, I do not think JavaScript is bad enough to justify switching to a completely different language. I worked on some big js projects, and together with a good module-system and jslint with strictmode on it works out all quite well. I think OOP is nice but you can do without much of it by focussing on composition instead of inheritance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance Dart has a big focus on OOS and looks a lot like "JavaScript for Java Programmers". Which is not a bad thing.
