  No.

    Then I get the impression you are defending Dart just by inertia and not because you understand the problem, it is very common to see that in fanboys.

      > Then I get the impression you are defending Dart just by inertia and not because you understand the problem I understand the complaint being made. And I explicitly note that there is a real trade-off. OTOH, I also recognize that there are real reasons why new languages don't spring into existence with complete language-native ecosystems on par with the most mature ecosystems in existence. > it is very common to see that in fanboys. I'm hardly a Dart fanboy. I think its a nice language that I'd rather work with than, say, JavaScript, and I like that someone is actually interested in challenging the assumption that JavaScript must be the one true language of the web, even if only as the common compilation target. But I don't have a real need for it, and its probably not even in the top 10 languages I'd use right now for a real project (though not having built-in JSON deserialization to user-defined classes isn't among the reasons why. Writing a converter to a custom type from the things it does deserialize JavaScript into isn't particularly challenging.)

        Then the fact you don't face the same problem that we do, doesn't mean that the problem doesn't exists.
