Hats off to you guys as well. That's a TON of work. :)

What % of Dart's development is sponsored by Google? Not trying to get a dig in at you guys, but it's also interesting to note that Elixir has come this far without the financial backing of one of the wealthiest tech companies in the world.

well, maybe not one of the wealthiest, but Platformatec[1] does (at the very least) sponsor José to work on Elixir.

And with Elixir, there is no chance for a future 'runs best on Chrome' campaign, no chance that you'll be trapped in a corporate-controlled walled garden. Not that I'm trying to raise doubts about Dart. Jose and team have delivered one of the most amazing projects ever - look forward to using Elixir for years to come.

Well Dart runs in a VM outside of Chrome now and could be compared to NodeJS in that regard.
