Dartium is a build of Chromium with both, so this is very much the direction that is possible. > Personally, I think unless Google pushes the language fro ChromeOS or > Android, it will hardly get any real market size. > > Like it or not, JavaScript is good enough. > > On my field of work, it doesn't matter how many cool languages I know, > we are usually bound by what the whole team is comfortable using, what > the boss allows for and the technologies that are requested by the > customers themselves. Dart has a JavaScript translation back end, so could have a role very much like CoffeeScript – which arguably hasn't been that successful given jQuery, Backbone, Ember, Angular, etc. Ceylon has both JVM and JavaScript back ends and is targetted at end-to-end single language working: Ceylon in the browser, Ceylon on the server. If some of the FUD and prejudice that is being put about by innovation haters in the Javaverse can be overcome, I think Ceylon could be a big player in the game of Web applications and services. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
