I agree with the sentiment. However, I hesitate to embrace Dart, after Google killed off a huge number of APIs earlier this year. Go seems to have much more traction at Google so I think it is safe, but Dart still has an experimental feel to it. I'd like to hear a long-term commitment from Google to Dart before I really jump in.

From what I see, Go is not really meant for web development. I think Google's real bet on web and general app development will be Dart, as Go looks more like a C++ replacement. Also from the project page, I see like 80 people are committing to Dart so that sounds pretty promising ( https://code.google.com/p/dart/people/list ).

Go is certainly meant for the server-side of web development, but I guess the phrase web-dev is often intended to mean client-side only.
