After Google's disappointing Dart announcement yesterday, I decided to tweak
them a bit and mention Haskell and functional programming languages as an

Comments on the post are welcome!
I didn't look very carefully, but from a Haskeller's point of view, I
can't see any significant difference between Dart and JavaScript, except
perhaps for the name. By comparison, CoffeeScript is a way more
innovative venture.
A far more useful thing for Google to do would be a standardized
bytecode language for the browser; something that can be JITted
efficiently while guaranteeing safety/security. This way, the
compilation chain
Haskell -> bytecode -> browser
would finally be viable.
