Google’s Dart may be the code to make web apps shine

Google unveiled its effort to create a programming language solely for building web apps.

Much like there’s a shift in computer hardware to take advantage of a more connected and mobile world, Google is attempting to push a concurrent shift in software. Google states its goals for Dart fairly clearly. The idea is to build a scripting language that can be built easily and quickly, but is also powerful enough to support a webscale applications and be maintained easily by more than just the author of the original code. The idea is that user-friendly languages like JavaScript allows a hobbyist-level developer to build out something quickly and easily, but the way the developer does writes the code can create hidden costs down the line as the application scales and requires more code and more people.
