I'm not a Ruby programmer so that idea initially strikes me as odd. It makes sense if you anticipate checking for the nullity or your objects a lot (a la Java), but personally I prefer the C way of expression evaluation.

> I think it is sensible in the long run to get rid of Javascript because of its warts I agree wholeheartedly.

This is the worst case shown here, it is like saying that QuickSort takes O(n^2) all the time, that's the overhead of the language, but for 99.9% of the cases you're not writing Hello World, you are doing more, while the overhead will stay constant.

Not *really*. It's basically for making Javascript syntax a little nicer. *Right now*, that's all Dart is doing as well. The idea with Dart is to push it into it's own language at some point and not have it compile into Javascript.

That's right. Some functions in the standard library are common between the two languages. In those, one standard simply refers to the docs of the other. But they're different standard libraries, with C++'s being a superset.

A lot of his criticisms are based on idiomatic preferences. 1) class-based OO and interfaces. His criticisms about interfaces not allowing inheritance of methods or Dart not using "roles" is weird. There are well-known problems with multiple inheritance (which he advocates) and multiple inheritance of implementation. ...

This is exactly how Common Lisp and Dylan work (and how Strongtalk worked) and it isn't the worst of both static and dynamic systems. In fact it works very well in practice.

That doesn't add anything to the tooling table. Again, they have a problem to solve, and it is not to please developer eyes: it is to make JavaScript more "toolable".
