Fair game sure, but unfortunately confusing. If there was another dart that was an actual programming language ( Is there ? ) you would have to qualify every time which dart programming language you meant. I imagine searching for things online would be tricky.

I don't believe so. We changed the name to "Dart" from "Dash" because the lawyers did a trademark search and felt the former was a safer bet.

szl is the name of the compiler, not the language, but point taken.
