Google Dart

[Fi8sVrs]

Dart (originally called Dash) is a web programming language developed by Google. It was unveiled at the GOTO conference in Aarhus, 2011 October 10-12.[2] The goal of Dart is "ultimately to replace JavaScript as the lingua franca of web development on the open web platform."[3]

Reason for a new language

Dart is intended to solve JavaScript's problems (which, according to a leaked memo,[4] cannot be solved by evolving the language) while offering better performance, the ability "to be more easily tooled for large-scale projects" and better security features.[5] Google engineers are developing a cloud-based IDE called Brightly, which will perhaps be the first Dart application. Google will offer a cross compiler that compiles Dart to ECMAScript 3 on the fly, for compatibility with non-Dart browsers. There will also be a facility to convert typed Closure code to Dart.[6] Google will also integrate a native VM into Chrome and encourage competitors to do the same with their browsers. The Dart VM and Dart Cross Compiler could be available in late 2011.[5]

Interesant... Bravo lui Google pentru acest limbaj de scripting! Inca e la inceput, dar probabil va deveni un rival pentru JS...
