Not necessarily. Dart provides 2 options:
- A strong tool supported language that translate to Javascript. So you developed large applications far easier with Dart VM in the browser, then just compile to Javascript for deployment. Debugging will happen in Dart mostly.
- A multi platform Runtime (Chrome) for high performance demanding applications. Application runs on browser it is far better than writing Windows - Mac - Linux specific application to me. And more appealing than Java. Also Chrome with Dart VM will work in Android. Another plus.
Both are compelling advantages of Dart.
- pjmlp 13y ago> Application runs on browser it is far better than writing Windows - Mac - Linux specific application to me. Well, I am the opinion the browser is for documents.
- afsina 13y agoI had that same opinion in 2003.
- pjmlp 13y agoI am developing software since 1986, mostly web in the last 8 years, my experience in the chaotic ways of web development only reinforces my opinion.
- afsina 13y agoFunny I am developing since 1986 too. One of the reasons of the chaos is JavaScript. Yet like it or not after mid 2000's many complicated apps are targeted to web only (Gmail etc). Now with the advance of new APIs Browser started to behave like an operating system - or runtime environment allowing rich-high performance application development. But JavaScript is still as ugly as before and I see Dart as a perfect high performance alternative that happens play well with JavaScript. I would gladly develop an application that run on Chrome rather than runs on Windows or Linux only.
