Dart: Google launches the Web programming language

Dart is a web programming language launched by Google, and the Dart 1.0 version has been completed.

Dart is a boost to JavaScript in terms of program efficiency and software performance for Web sites and Web applications. Project director Lars Bak said in a blog update that the release of the 1.0 release also meant that Dart could be officially used in the Web world, not just testing. While there are many hurdles to making dart unavailable directly to the Web, Google offers some indirect implementations and tries to convince other browser manufacturers that Dart is worth using.

Dart was on its first stage 2 years ago, and the release of the 1.0 release was at the Devoxx conference in Belgium. Google insists on developing this new programming language, expecting it to be easy to learn for JavaScript programmers, and to be more efficient, releasing SDK development kits to help programmers program, and dartium versions of Chrome browsers, as well as DART2JS tools, Used to convert Dart to JavaScript in browsers that do not support dart.

But in fact, like Google's native Client, DART has not been supported by any other browser manufacturer. JS itself is easy to understand, performance is also steadily improving, is expected to soon have ECMAScript 6 new version of the arrival. The difficulty of dart promotion involves applying new learning costs to programmers, building libraries, and finding browser programmers to upgrade their performance and fix their security problems. JS Although there are problems, but to the web world to push a new standard obviously will only increase the complexity of the entire system. Today there are countless pages using JS elements, even if dart catch up, these pages have no reason to remove or modify, not to mention Google itself in JS above also have a lot of effort.

Still, Google has shown enough patience with its dart program, according to Google's usual tradition. Over the past two years, the SDK has changed quite a lot, and it has always been a great boost to the performance of the dart, and it even means that when the time comes, programmers will definitely love Dart. In fact, the programmer's interest is indeed the most important factor in whether other browsers support Dart.
