About the Google Dart Project

Question

Google

Do you use this language?
What do you think of it?
Does he have prospects?

Answer 1

We do not use.
But he has prospects, because Google is behind him, and if they want, they can very aggressively promote their product. For example, they will bring it to the level - several times faster than javascript in their browser and, accordingly, they will force them to write applications for their chrome OS only on Dart.
Then, for sure, Dart will try to repeat or surpass the success of node.js. Also a good development option for him.

Answer 2

I think that now it will be very difficult to switch to a new standard, so to speak. Although many people didn’t like Google Chrome either, but now everyone (well, many) is already sitting on it and other competitors of Opera, Firefox and others have become similar.
Google had many projects that it quietly closed, and the SDK was only the first version released.

Answer 3

I think there are no prospects, the ES6 specification is almost ready, and the main problems of JS (classes and modules) are solved in it. In fact, Dart is GWT 2.0 for translating Java into JS, essentially a crutch that few people use anymore.
Dart will not be supported by the small soft ones, and after all, this is a huge proportion of users. Firefox is not going to support it either, they rely on asm.js there, so ... If it came out in the year, like 2008, the chances might have been, but now the train has left.

Answer 4

I thought here that Dart can be buried as soon as ES6 is available for development and ASM.JS support appears in IE and Chrome.
And then 100% that this will happen in the next year or two, or even earlier. ASM.JS will be 100% filed. otherwise, other browsers will be slow compared to Firefox, and for implementation you only need to finish the browser's JS engine. Well, ES6 is a matter of course.
