The point is that Dart will run on all browsers. ActiveX only ran on IE.
Dart's also friendly with the web. It has a full DOM API and JS-interop. It's not a plugin.
- kevingadd 13y agoDart2JS will run on all browsers. Dart currently will only run in Chrome. This is an important distinction.
- mythz 13y agoDart currently only runs in Dartium, There is no DartVM in Chrome which just runs the Dart2JS version live every other browser. Also I don't think it's clear whether or not Opera will include a DartVM by virtue of Blink.
- kevingadd 13y agoSorry, by 'currently' I meant current plans, you're absolutely right. I think it's pretty likely that Opera might include it, and that could change things - even though their marketshare tends to be kind of small they've traditionally had some power in terms of boosting adoption of new tech.
- spankalee 13y agoDart is the language and the Dart VM and dart2js are implementations. That's an important distinction. Dart, via dart2js, does run on all modern browsers.
