The language looks great. The challenge I think is always building enough of a community to create a rich enough stack that people can build real-world applications on. Scala did a fine job there, and a lot of that had to do with some companies taking some ownership of the platform (TypeSafe in that case), which may be good and/or bad. I wander what others think of this.
- melling 13y agoYour little typo "wander" instead of wonder kind of demonstrates the point of Dart. It's a language that seems to provide more of a safety net for developers. We all make trivial mistakes, probably daily. It's nice to have a little more support in a language to help us along. Throw in the extra performance (2x?) over Javascript and I'm ready to at least give it a try.
- sethladd 13y ago[disclaimer: I work on the Dart team] The Dart VM is 2X faster than V8 on a few benchmarks already. Check out https://www.dartlang.org/performance https://www.dartlang.org/performance We've still got a bunch of work to do, but the initial results are encouraging.
