Sort of related to your comment: IMO the common thread in all (recent-ish?) Apple products is that the first iteration is usually rough around the edges and met with the most amount of criticism, then what always seems to happen is that App

I am a net neutrality advocate in the sense that I'm against artificial traffic shaping. Netflix offering peering and cacheing solutions to offload massive amounts of traffic is not the same thing, and, in fact, is an attempt to preven

I think the point is that Dart can do that, but he wants to eliminate the step where you perform the cast and just have Dart automagically create meaningful classes from a given pile of JSON data. I think the performance penalty of this t

EDIT: Brain fart; don't use this. See comments below. Just use the following if you really want to account for strings containing the number 0. (!isset($var) || $var === false); Note the triple equals sign.
