Dart For the Language Enthusiast
summary
Dart claims to be a browser-first language that compiles to JavaScript and ships a native VM for debugging, it uses top-level lazy evaluation, offers an optional static type system that's simple and expressive rather than fully sound, and provides a core library with Iterable and Stream APIs that do lazy and asynchronous transforms. The ecosystem reports hundreds of packages and thousands of repos, the Dart-to-JS compiler is written in Dart and runs on try.dartlang.org, and the language favors familiar C-like syntax plus mixins and cascade operators.
