Google today launched an early preview
of Dart, a programming language the company hopes will help web application programmers overcome shortcomings of JavaScript that Google itself feels acutely.
Programmer and project leader Lars Bak detailed the project in a talk today at the Goto conference in Denmark and in a blog post. Dart is geared for everything from small, unstructured projects to large, complicated efforts — Gmail and Google Docs, for example.
If we want to focus on making the web better over time, we have to innovate
, including with new programming languages, Bak said in an interview.
Google also unveiled a Dart language site that includes open-source tools for writing Dart programs, code samples and tutorials; libraries of supporting software; the Dart language specification; and forums for discussion — via redwolf.newsvine.com
