If this turns out to be the case, it would have made more sense to improve V8 then the Dart VM. Until the Dart team comes out and says the back-end is not the focus for them, I’ll give Dart a chance. The language interests me even though the syntax looks like Java. I also feel they have an excellent team working on the VM that will keep improving over time. I would just like to take advantage of these improvements, if not in the browser, then on the back-end.
