Dart is a Web programming language developed by Google. The goal of Dart is ultimately to replace JavaScript as the lingua franca of web development on the open web platform.

Abstract:

Dart is a new structured web programming language, complete with libraries, a virtual machine, and editor. Dart is Google's effort to make it easier and more productive to build complex and rich modern web apps. This brown bag will introduce Dart, explain its motivations, and give an overview of the effort and where it's going. The project is in Technology Preview, so now is the perfect time to check it out, provide feedback, and help sharpen Dart. As a special treat, we will get an introduction to, and a demo, of the Dart Editor.
