Psyched! See our HN post about our Dart app (Dart rocks) and our team's disappointment with not being included in the 1.0 announcement. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6735044
I don't know anything about what went into deciding which companies were mentioned in the announcement, but I know for certain I and others on the team have a ton of respect and gratitude for all of the help you and Kai have given us. Thanks!
Sorry folks, I thought and still maintain that our situation was relevant to other startups and hackers. I thought we'd get some critical feedback, and we did. And yes, we wanted to tell our own story with respect to Dart since we had been expecting to do something like that for some time as part of Google's announcement. The post is removed and we're moving on.
