Why would a site want to target only Chrome? If your site has a URL, I think it's of the site's best interest to target many modern browsers and provide a graceful upgrade/download experience.

Good question, I'd have to run some queries. dart.googlecode.com and github.com/dart-lang are the two main locations. We receive more patches for the libraries and docs than we do for the VM. But we have received patches for dart2

Browsers should compete on performance. As long as dart2js outputs efficient JavaScript (current benchmarks: https://www.dartlang.org/performance ) so that Dart code runs well on browsers without the VM, I think it's fi

I find Dart much easier to learn than Java. Check out http://programming.oreilly.com/2013/05/dart-is-not-the-langu... for many differences between Java and Dart.

If the web community doesn't continue to work on innovative new platform features, and deliver fantastic experiences for mobile users, then native mobile (ios, android) will become the de facto way to deliver apps to users. That day is

Dart compiles to JavaScript, is open source, and is now in ECMA. The project has mostly Google engineers committing, but we also have plenty of open-source contributions. asm.js is a compile target that takes C/C++ code and outputs lot

Better for users also (and yes, better for Google because Google makes money when people see and click ads on the web). When the web has more interesting content being produced by more motivated developers, users win. When the web starts up

Why wait for the VM when you can compile to JavaScript today?

Do you have a source for the above quote? I ask because it appears he liked using it: https://twitter.com/notch/status/412290357892636673 "I really like it." - notch

To be fair, people use Dart in production right now, too. In fact, there are high profile Google projects being written in Dart (unfortunately, they aren't released yet). See Blossom's post for one example: http://www.r

Can you elaborate on your claim that Dart designers optimized Delta Blue when porting it to Dart? Here's the Dart code for Delta Blue: https://github.com/dart-lang/benchmark_harness/blob/master/e...

Did you file a bug for the date parsing? Thanks for using Dart!

[disclaimer: I work on the Dart team] The Dart VM is 2X faster than V8 on a few benchmarks already. Check out https://www.dartlang.org/performance We've still got a bunch of work to do, but the initial results are encouraging.

[disclaimer: I work on the Dart team] I talked to our VM engineers, and they mentioned that the Benchmarks Game does not perform a warm-up before it runs the benchmark. This affects the Dart performance, because the Dart VM does not yet hav

I would say that one of Dart's goals is certainly toolability. We ship a Dart Editor, and an analyzer, that supports refactoring, code completion, jump to definition, and more. [disclaimer: I work on the Dart team.]

One of my favorites: http://glyph3d.com "Glyph3D is a font atlas generation tool. It enables game developers / artists to create beautiful font atlas maps using various filter effects."

Correct. The optimizations are landing now/soon. Feedback welcome!

A couple of clarifications: * Dart compiles to JavaScript, Silverlight did not. * Dart is actively being developed, Silverlight is not. * Dart does not require any plugins, Silverlight did. * Dart natively supports the DOM, Silverlight did

[disclaimer, I work on the Dart team] While I do believe our Dart/JavaScript interop story will continue to be refined, I do want to point out that the days of javascript: URLs and eval are nearly over. The Web is getting a stronger securit

Good point, Dart2js isn't the only compiler that can apply optimizations. I believe Closure Compiler also performs optimizations. Both GWT and Closure have been out for years, to be fair. :) [disclaimer: I work on the Dart team]

[disclaimer, I work on the Dart project] You might be interested in checking out http://pub.dartlang.org which is our repository of Dart packages. Meanwhile, we're still in beta, so I hope to see more projects when we hit 1.0.

[disclaimer, I work on the Dart team] Yes, one of the long term goals of the language is standardization. The project is open source, we have external committers, and we've taken numerous patches. Pull Requests welcome!

(disclaimer, I work on the Dart team) Thanks for the question! We released Dart as a Technology Preview last year, which means we released very early in the project's life cycle. We've been collecting feedback and updating/refactoring the l
