I would love to see a demo of that! And how are you finding Dart to be verbose? In my experience it can be more concise than JS because of short lambdas, no function keyword, method cascades, real classes, the fluent Iterable and Stream int

Awesome!

re: GWT. GWT is still actively developed and making progress. I just talked with some GWT team members at I/O, and they're adding better JS-interop (like we are), incremental compilation, and are looking at web components support.

Hi, I'm on the Dart team too and maintain dart:js which allows you to call JavaScript from Dart. I'm a little busy right this second, but ask any questions and I'll be glad to answer them!

Dart's been very stable for a while now, and has a really good library ecosystem already. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about JavaScript frameworks evolving rapidly, just go with anything the supports Web Components. In Ja

Google Maps was almost certainly started before Dart was released.

As mentioned already, there is AngularDart, but we also have a full port of Polymer to Dart, so you can write web components in Dart. https://www.dartlang.org/polymer-dart/ We also have Dart packages for the Polymer pr

I maintain a utility library for Dart called Quiver, that you could view in the same vein as Underscore, or Guava. Like you mention, the Dart core libraries are pretty rich, so Quiver doesn't have to define as many fundamental concepts

Dart is a programming language that compiles to JavaScript. The project also encompasses APIs like collections, async and a much improved DOM API. Dart also has a node.js-like server VM with IO. Angular is a client-side web framework that p

I don't get this assumption. All three same basically the same content at presumably roughly the same margins.

As a Google _user_ I care a lot about this issue. A lot of the technical topics and questions I search for are answered best by blog posts from people who've solved the same issue, or are an authority. I don't want them thrown out

Cool but the demo isn't working in Chrome for me. It would be nice to wrap something like that in a web component so that it'd be trivial to reuse without a framework.

That bit of info you have is just wrong.

Those are all examples of languages that started off as proprietary, just like Dart.
2358.
by spankalee 12y ago
There aren't that many languages that aren't "proprietary" in some way or another at their beginnings. C, Java, JavaScript, Rust, Go, Swift, Python, Perl, Ruby, Clojure, TypeScript... on and on. Haskell is one of the few

That's a very legitimate complaint. Gilad Bracha sometimes posts updates[1] to the Dart mailing lists, but I'm not familiar with ECMA, or if it has a standard way of posting information and updates about technical committee work.

I think anyone can participate in the ECMA TC52 meetings. I'm not sure about membership in ECMA, I think there other requirements.

by spankalee 12y ago
Well, we have ECMA TC52 which will hopefully ratify the specification pretty soon.

Shameless plug, but the author should check out Dart. Dart's core libraries include first, last, isEmpty, isNotEmpty getters for Iterables, as well as a ton of functional methods like map(), where(), reduce(), expand() (flatMap). Not o

What makes you say that Dart "relented" on not using type annotations in the runtime? The VM basically throws the type annotations away. In production mode, the type annotations can be completely wrong and your program will still

I really prefer the "many people" icon, and disagree that it should only mean collaboration. I think it has the least abstract form and most intuitive meaning.

There's a skeletal animation demo that was made to show off Dart SIMD support. The bottleneck was the animation, not the 3D rendering, and using SIMD allowed almost 4x the number of characters to be drawn.

by spankalee 12y ago
Plus, Dart will be able to use SIMD support when compiling to JavaScript :)
2367.
by spankalee 12y ago
It's based on SIMD support in Dart, which has been available for a while now and does supports NEON. https://www.dartlang.org/articles/simd/ The primitives are pretty generic, just a few new vector types base

I feel like a calendar input should probably be a custom element. There are too many possible variations.

No, JavaScript does not have Python's __getattr__, and obj[name] is not a substitute for it. obj[name] works if you have already either assigned a value for that name, it exists in the prototype chain, or you have defined a getter via
