What's the point if Ceylon already compiles to Javascript?

Pretty sure Dart has it's own VM. It just also happens to compile to Javascript.

Dart is soon another abandonware from Google now that they endorsed TypeScript.

I can think of at least 3 reasons:

- it's a fun project, if you're into that sort of thing

- dart has a VM, so you can run server side applications on it

- more bragging points for ceylon, as it confirms their design as a VM independent language

Now, it would be fun to compare the javascript code produced by ceylon directly with the one produced by the the dart compiler.

You can run server side applications in JavaScript too.

As with many other things, why not?

Ceylon is such a mess. Kotlin won the "alternative JVM race" anyway.

They don't even support Android, and now they prioritize Dart. HAHAHAHAHA.
