GOOGLE DART
ABSTRACT
Dart originally called Dash is a Web programming language developed by Google. It was unveiled at the GOTO conference in Aarhus, 2011 October 10-12. The goal of Dart is "ultimately to replace JavaScript as the lingua franca of web development on the open web platform”. Google launched an "early preview" of Dart; a programming language that will help Web application programmers overcome shortcomings of JavaScript that Google itself feels acutely. Dart is geared for everything from small, unstructured projects to large, complicated efforts--Gmail and Google Docs. Google also unveiled a Dart language site that includes open-source tools for writing Dart programs, code samples, and tutorials; libraries of supporting software; the Dart language specification; and forums for discussion. It's not going to replace JavaScript that is a cornerstone of the Web today and it will continue to be for a long time.
