There might not be a formalized 'grand plan,' but Dart doesn't have the open, cheerful intentions of CoffeeScript. It's being designed as a javascript replacement. Google's overbearing intention is obvious. You&#x2

Because that's a pretty laughable idea. There's no reason for browsers to choose Dart over CoffeeScript or TypeScript, and Dart is so far behind CoffeeScript it's not even funny. Google wants to do it, sure, but that doesn&#

This might be a minor degree of "bad Google," but it still is firmly in the realm of "bad Google." If you're arguing that this is a tiny sliver in the greater scheme of things, I'll agree with you. If you thin

You... really are making quite a botched job of this. 1) You should be very, very careful about having a public opinion on coming out if you do not have personal (or more importantly relevant ) experience. 2) We're in an era where the

You're getting kinda ugly about this. Are you really that disingenuous? In this parent, you just fought almost as dirty as it is possible to fight within proper, polite terms, and you made a point of doing it. And then you want to
