Why Google thinks you should drop everything you do and pick up their Dart.
summary
A new language plus integrated tools and libraries that runs either in a native Dart VM or compiles to dart2js, with an editor, debugger, profiler, package manager (pub) and a Dart-flavored browser build (dartium). Claims include clearer, optionally typed semantics, async/await, streams, deferred loading and isolates. Large-app tests show the VM finishing a 110k-line compiler in ~18s with roughly one third the memory versus V8 at ~50s; many teams ship production apps and report 2–3× speedups.
