A big JavaScript limitation is their limited dependency/modularity support. You just include JavaScript source from HTML, which is simple, but for more larger applications with complex dependency graphs, this is a significant deficiency. Python has eggs, Ruby has gems, Java has a ton of stuff in this area: .jars/Maven/OSGi, and soon Jigsaw. Apparently, Dart doesn't change this at all, which is disappointing.
I'm surprised how conservative Dart is. It definitely cleans up lots of small items like the JavaScript Prototype stuff which was a bad idea to begin with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
