According to Google code blog article, Dart can be translated in Javascript to obtain borwsers compliance, http://googlecode.blogspot.it/2011/10/dart-language-for-structured-web.html "Dart code can be executed in two different ways: either on a native virtual machine <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine> or on top of a JavaScript engine by using a compiler<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler>that translates Dart code to JavaScript". So, I can write my own App that can run on Android, as previously mentioned, and I can translate it to permit other browsers than Chrome to execute it. This leads me to a question, how should I manage the transition from Java - Gwt to Dart? It is supposed that coders have to entirely rewrite the code? Honestly, everything sounds to me like a political choice to force people to shift from java platform develepment to Dart platform, leveraging the huge Android diffusion through cellphones and tablets. Now, what I ask myself is, why should I learn a "new" programming language when I already know Java, immensely supported, both on the tools side and acquired knowledge base by the community? Because of performances? Not so sure, we got 4 cpued cellphones, tablets with gpus, so the calculation capability is not a problem. For semplicity or easiness of developing complex webapps? There are a lot of javascript frameworks that help developers on building structured web applications, with a look and feel only dreamed by GWT developers.
