Unfortunately, this thread has been a little off-topic for a while now. I don't think there is a good single forum for "let's complain about Dart design decisions", and it probably isn't useful to do so, as every person I've spoken to on the subject has something completely different that they dislike about it, and not everyone agrees on each specific point anyway.

The 'types should/should-not affect program behaviour' is a philosophical choice, and there are people who feel very strongly about it. Anyway, this doesn't preclude you from generating guarded, optimised code for the case that the types are as expected, and you can do this AOT. -- William Leslie _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
