Google's Dart (https://www.dartlang.org) looks like a very

No, neither Chromium nor even Chrome run it natively. Only
Dartium which is a separate browser.
* cascade operations: they perform a series of operations on
the members of a single object:
foo.bar(1)..baz(3)
equivalent to:
foo.bar(1)
foo.baz(3)
In D we can use
with(foo) { bar(1); bar(3); }
Pretty close.
Dart looks like a very nice language for front-end web
development indeed. If I was doing web-dev I would choose vibe.d
+ Dart combo.
Some features like its constructors and short form of methods I
would love to see in D too.
As for compiling D to Dart I'm not sure that's feasible. You'll
have to chop off lower half of it.
