Kathy Walrath and Seth Ladd, members of Google’s developer relations team, show in this essay why Google Dart is a language to be considered (in a near future) for all your Web applications: First of all, they answer why a new language is required, the most important question in this matter, what JavaScript is good for… and what it lacks.
