Dart
summary
Dart 1.0 stabilizes language and libraries and ships an Eclipse‑based IDE, dart2js shrinks Hello World to ~2.5 KB using tree‑shaking and whole‑program optimizations, and Dartium ships a native VM for native execution and snapshotting. The language adds optional types, mixins, isolates (like enhanced web workers), and JS interop. Benchmarks cited include DeltaBlue, Richards and Tracer, with VM startup often ~10× faster and production apps like StageXL Blossom Soundtrap and Mixbook’s Montage already deployed.
