Okay, you make a good case that Google could just put Dart into Chrome
and that would perturb the choice of language for client side (in-
browser) app development. If they're smart about it, the license will
be compatible with use in Firefox, Safari, Opera and Internet
Exploiter so that there's a good chance Dart would be accepted in all
those browsers.
Concerning Android, I'm still not understanding the point. Android is
polyglot, so no doubts that one will be able to use Dart for making
Android apps. It's still unclear to me how this could solve the Oracle
lawsuit, given that it's VM based. The VM we're eventually considering
is not something new, that could have new technologies working around
the lawsuit (I must say that the patent is generic enough to make it
probably impossible to make a VM with high optimizations working around
it). It's V8, which is well known. Maybe there will be suprises at the
conference, but they talked about a *language*, not a *brand new VM*.
