Dart : Structured web programming
Google launches Dart, an open source web development language aimed to overcome Javascript’s failings. The code will run natively in a VM or cross-compile to Javascript.
Specifically, their design goals are:
- Create a structured yet flexible programming language for the web.
- Make Dart feel familiar and natural to programmers and thus easy to learn.
- Ensure that all Dart language constructs allow high performance and fast application startup.
- Make Dart appropriate for the full range of devices on the web—including phones, tablets, laptops, and servers.
- Provide tools that make Dart run fast across all major modern browsers.
