Ask HN: Dart's Future 12 years ago
Well, i think dart is a great language, with many features. But I recently tried to build an app with it, and the real down side is, that every library out there needs to be ported to dart and maintained. Yes there are many updates on the libraries, but they mostly update to versions which are lot older than the ones released in Javascript. (e.g. Polymer: 0.5.2) The hard part is therefor to maintain the libraries of dart while the JS projects move on very quickly. So if u use dart you always have old libraries that will be used while there might be more possibilities with the js ones.
