I know, great, right.

I criticize Google often but yeah this is great. Good for Google. It is more than what Oracle or Microsoft or others do.
My opinion is this -- JS is a shitty language. It was a shitty language, no matter how many "good parts" books will be published or how many frameworks one builds on top of it -- it is still an ugly language that makes me want to tear my hair out every time I use it. You love it, great. I hate it. I was hoping from day one someone, some company, would find a good replacement. I can tolerate compiling to it and treating it like assembler. It is even better if it gets bypassed altogether.
There were other posts here about JS's warts, so I am not the only one who welcome any other sane, normal, language to replace it.
Anyway, great work Google, keep releasing new versions of Dart, Dart UI, Dart IDE and so on.
One thing that would help is a couple of killer websites or applications that would do something much better than the rest. If it used Dart and ran on the latest Chrome, that would help its adoption.
It would help Google too because it would increase Chrome install instances running.
Yay... I was hoping this would happen :-)
