| Yes I like the direction dart is going in (except would prefer the type system had more actual meaning than just annotations for tooling, but still). My pipe dream:
- Google implements a VM for dart or equivalent. - Dart, Java, C#, ActionScript, Python, Ruby, whatever, can compile to this VM. - VM/bytecode is initially just in chrome, which is fine as far as I am concerned (no problem saying our app works in chrome only). You can transpile to JS if you want to target other browsers. - Because of native VM implementation in chrome, the best web applications are in chrome. Chrome increases in popularity. - Other vendors are forced to implement this VM. - We get to something like a client VM (lets call it CVM) standard for all browsers. - Developer productivity improves and browser based apps start not sucking so bad in comparison to their native brothers. |
