I wonder if that rather incentivises them to download assets as a separate HTTP request after the app is started. If not how do AAA games work on the iPhone?

That's an excellent advice and it works because people are motivated and have a tight feedback loop ("is this what I wanted?"). Arguably this is the best way to learn if you follow it with some deeper reading on the subject o

Excellent article. I admire taking extra steps and fiddling with the runtime code to make it faster. One question though: if dart:mirrors is not working when targeting JavaScript does that mean the API is practically unused? Or do people us

I meant higher level constructs. Classes are just an example. Even in Haskell you have typeclasses and modules. The point is that even though in JavaScript (and other Turing complete languages) you can emulate anything with what is availabl

Well, in ancient ES3 times all we had was functions and so we used functions for everything and that was good as they are extremely versatile. But now a different problem appeared: it's hard to statically analyze function-based constru
