Google is sending out a rather confusing message: use Dart; use AngularDart; use JavaScript (AngularJS); use AtScript (AngularJS 2.0). How long before we see: use Golang? (There's already a Go2JS compiler.)
Also, if Chrome is the only browser to incorporate the Dart VM, the "works best in Chrome" attitude will annoy non-Chrome users, who will feel they're treated as second-class citizens. You hope other browser vendors will follow the lead? Dream on. Politically, it's not going to happen. Microsoft, Apple, and Mozilla will NEVER accept Dart.
I think Dart is an okay language. I might even use it someday. But I can think of alternative languages that are a lot more pleasant to use, eg: https://medium.com/@richardeng/js-christ-im-using-js-1d1d0864d33e https://medium.com/@richardeng/js-christ-im-using-js-1d1d086...
- horrido 12y agoIt's worth noting that GWT is still in use today, even at Google. So add "use Java" to Google's confusing message. However, Google is probably not interested in promoting GWT anymore. Oracle's Java patents are a P.I.T.A.
