Google To Introduce New Programming Language — Dart

Posted by Soulskill on from the get-off-my-lawn-dart dept.

An anonymous reader sends this excerpt from El Reg: "Google has built a brand-new programming language for 'structured web programming,' one that appears to be suited to browser-based apps. Two of the search giant's engineers will discuss Dart, Google's new language, at the Goto international software development conference next month. News of the new language was posted to the Goto website. There aren't yet any technical details on Dart but the bios of the two Googlers presenting at Goto strongly suggest a bent towards programming for the web and browser."

    tell me that this will replace Javascript.

    If it does PHP too that would be a bonus.

    Granted I don't know if this will actually be any better -- and given Google's reported hostility to good programming languages I'd need some good experience with it to decide -- but God knows it can't be any worse.

    And, of course, MS and Apple won't adopt it

    If the Dart language is intended to replace something like the buggy, slow and badly designed PHP language, I'm likely to give it a try.
    In other terms, if Dart is to PHP what Chrome is to Firefox, that new language sounds promising.
