I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm being a dick; but I'm incredibly frustrated to have poured so much effort into trying to make Dart a viable option for a rewrite where I work (I've even been working on a Visual Studio extension since all the devs here are primitively .NET devs).
To find something so fundamental missing with no reasonable solution (and no information from the Dart team) is frustrating; it's not going to make selling Dart to my colleagues any easier.
- frowaway001 12y agoI'm kind of interested why you considered Dart in the first place. Google has such a poor track record in language design, that when I was looking for a compile-to-JavaScript language I didn't even consider Dart.
- icebraining 12y agoJust out of curiosity, what is Google's track record in language design? I don't remember any languages coming from them besides Go and Dart.
- d2p 12y agoI wrote a blog post some time ago: http://blog.dantup.com/2014/05/web-development-sucks-and-its-not-getting-any-better/ http://blog.dantup.com/2014/05/web-development-sucks-and-its... And while responding to comments, I read a little more about Dart and it started to look quite appealing. I spend too much of my day maintaining and debugging legacy JavaScript written years ago in sub-optimal ways.
