Dart in Chrome? Dart on Android? Will the Dart IDE look correctly on Windows 8 high-dpi devices? (I know that's partially an Eclipse problem) In fact, what is the future of Dart? Is it just a complement to browser-based JavaScript?

> Dart in Chrome? We're working on it! Having two language virtual machines with objects that can contain references to each other is quite technically challenging. There's a bunch of work to be done to address that[1]. Along the way, we're working with the larger Chrome team to address any other requirements they have. > Dart on Android? The Dart VM does run on Android right now [2]. My understanding is that the performance is impressive relative to Dalvik/ART, though don't quote me on that.

  An interesting advantage compared to Dalvik (or the JVM) is the ability to make use of SIMD. If your bottleneck would benefit from SIMD, you can gain quite a lot. It does of course require some additional work, but thanks to operator overloading it looks fairly nice.

  >Aside from the splash screen, it looks nice and sharp on my retina Heh, I believe it, but it is a bit of a mess on high-dpi Windows 8 machines (e.g. Lenovo Yoga 2 pro). Some elements get scaled, some don't, and the entire thing looks broken. It is functional, just ugly.
