Exciting to see Erik Meijer (Haskell, C#, Hack, LINQ, Rx) as co-author of this article.

Agreed. I took his edX functional programming class mostly Haskell) and it was great fun.

I've been addicted to Rx since I started using ReactiveCocoa in my iOS applications. I was disappointed looking at Dart initially when I saw it was heavily future based and not observable/signal based.

I haven't looked at Dart in awhile but I hope this means Rx style composability/async/error handling is in Dart's future.

You might like `frappe` https://github.com/danschultz/frappe a bacon.js inspired library for Dart.

Could you explain what you're missing from Rx that isn't already supported by Dart's core library. For example in Dart Iterables and Streams already have: where, skip, take, map, fold, reduce, expand (which is flatMap or mapcat), as well as a few others.

Note that Erik Meijer was also one of the guys behind LINQ and adding generators to CLR languages when he was at Microsoft.

Dart is in good hands.

It would be nice to see a followup about performance considerations.

Just when people thought that we had one less useless language to deal with ...

We are building a realtime app with Dart. So far it's silky smooth for most part.

Any chance you can share more details? You can send me a message with @sethladd or plus.google.com/+sethladd

[I'm a PM on Dart, and would love to learn more.]

Cheers!
