Hey guys,

Earlier today Google announced Dart. Dart is a new language created by Google that is supposed to replace JavaScript in web-browsers.

Here is a sample of the Dart language saying Hello, World!

main() {
var name = ‘World’;
print(‘Hello, ${name}!’);
}

Here is a sample of JavaScript language saying Hello, World!

< script type= "text/javascript">
document.write(‘ Hello World‘);
< /script >

Both are pretty simple languages but JavaScript is a major part of the Internet and will be hard for anything to replace it. I could see people starting to write all of their Java programs in Dart and then converting it into Java so that they can save time. But I don’t believe that Dart will ever fully replace Java but rather make it more noob friendly.

Not much has been discussed about Dart but Google claims it could be translated into JavaScript and be used on JavaScript engines. It is also a basic class based programming language which means it will work similar to how C++ and Python are set up which means the coding could be more compact and “easier” to work with, but is also makes a lot of the coding over packed with tons of objects with the same functions. Many of the people who have used it and Google states that its very easy to catch on to the language if you have had experience programming before, I agree with that statement because I have looked at many samples and did a bit of programming myself (in python) and I do find Dart to be pretty simple.

On the side note, In my opinion Google should start slowing down in trying to be involved in every aspect of computing and internet or else they would lose their court case against Anti-Trust laws.

STAY NERDY, MY FRIENDS!
