I am so ungodly sick of Google pushing DART technologies everywhere. I really am starting to think their strategy is embrace, enhance, exterminate.
- pcwalton 12y agoIf you don't like Dart, then you should actually be in favor of this move. It negates what was previously an advantage of Dart over JavaScript.
- spankalee 12y agoApologies, but we don't push Dart. You don't have to use it. Google writes millions of lines of JavaScript a year and wants a better language, that's all. As pcwalton says, SIMD.js evens an advantage that was in favor of Dart, while at the same time making JavaScript a better compile target for languages like Dart and asm.js languages like C++. It's also a really clean API that fits nicely onto typed arrays. What's not to like?
