Dart 1.0 M1

Dart 1.0 M1 (first milestone) will be available soon, almost one year later after the public presentation of Dart to the world.
Dart is more and more stable from the language specification point of view, and still evolves from the other points (libraries, tools, optimizations, compilation, js generation, ...).  Up to now, I was not completely convinced by this new google experiment, and I was still considering GWT as the best alternative to develop complex and efficient web applications, even more with the appearance of mgwt for the mobile market. 
I have continued to take a glance on the project nevertheless, and what I observe is that this project is getting better and better, and more an more people seem involved inside Google on the project. Unfortunately the community is still not large, especially if we compare with Go, the  other Google project (http://godashboard.appspot.com/project). 
Dart future is unsure, but can be said on the right path, and certainly would simplify the web development even on the mobile side.  It can be worth to go deeper inside it. 

Dart language editor

The Dart language grows quite fast, and thinks about the language itself and the tools at the same time, condition sine qua non to encounter success quickly, especially on the web development market. The Dart development editor is out.
One of the strengths of the tool  is the ability to compile Dart code into javascript seamlessly. The editor seems to be built upon Eclipse RCP, which is quite good and enables Google to eventually reuse skills from the GWT team (why not the GWT designer tool adapted to Dart?). We also could think about a Dart tool upon Eclipse Orion, the future web oriented development environment from the Eclipse foundation... But it is a little bit later :)

DART

Here comes DART we spoke about fews weeks ago. You will notice the name of the site ;) : dartlang, like a wink to golang from the same provider, ie Google. You'll also notice on this blog the ability like with Go to write code online and to test it directly. Have fun discovering this new language dedicated to the web... or not...

(update) after a quick glance to the language, I'm a little bit disappointed ; I expected much more, and actually much more different... I took my dreams for reality ;) nevertheless, it is not a bad language, moreover if we consider it is at early stages of its new life...
We can see it like a javascript 2.0 enabling to better structure javascript code, which is not bad in fine. It will be nice to see in few months how Dart will be used by Google itself, how it will be included or not on android, how the dart2js translator will be fast and efficient enough to compete with GWT, if Dart is intended to work both on client and server side, if dart will be dedicated to the client side and Go to the server one, and so on...
A lot will depends also of the IDE... The GWT eclipse plugin is quite powerful today by enabling to develop web applications with all the power of a Java IDE (refactoring, references, code assist, ...). It is the key point for me, since Smalltalk...

(update2)

It already exists an inception of Dart IDE under the form of an eclipse plugin... to be built manually up to now. It is nice to have at the same time the language and the IDE...

Dart new google programming language for the web

It seems that google wants ,after having invested in gwt, go, and other stuff, to influence the web programming too ... The new baby is DART :
* presentation
* announce
* article

What is interesting to me, it's the people who have worked on it. Go was developped by C creator and fellows, and Dart by emminent Smalltalker :)

We may imagine that these two languages (go an dart) will share different kind of problematics and different kind of granularity, and not really compete themselves...

I imagine Dart like a Seaside-like language and framework with continuation inside :) We'll see that in few days.

I also suppose that dart is coming to replace java and dalvik on android machines, and this to avoid problems with Oracle. The path is long to make a new language successful, but if it is related to android, the success (like objective-C) may be guaranteed.
