Google’s Dart – Thoughts and Resources
Posted on by Adrian Pomilio

So Google has provided another language for all of us web developers and it’s name is Dart. Dart is different than Google’s Go in the sense that Dart is meant for the web layer, or “to give a structured programing language for the web.”
One could look at this as an attempt to replace JavaScript but it seems to have some key differences, or self proclaimed corrections:
Dart is a class based OO language, which is fundamentally different than JavaScript.
Dart runs in a virtual machine, or is compiled down to JavaScript
Dart allows for optional typing of variables – something we are familiar with in ActionScript but not JavaScript
