> Dart gets the compile-time warning benefit of types but not the runtime benefit After someone else suggested that JavaScript was close to as fast as C, I thought no way. So to prove them wrong, I wrote a simple benchmark of code that does the kind of thing I generally do, and my JavaScript (actually CoffeeScript...

Exactly. On one hand, I admire Google for always being so progressive and aggressive. On the other hand, though, they sometimes seem to run with blinders on and simply expect everyone else to keep up. I'm all for innovation, but having lived through the first generation of browser wars, I'm really gun-shy about diversi...

Words have no meaning without context, and the meaning of the word "integer" is different in the context of programming language design than it is in the context of mathematics. The problems you describe are a result of not knowing the difference (plus C's inability to honor the overflow bit).

While "feeble" has a pretty negative connotation, overall I thought the article was fairly balanced. tl;dr "Dart's type system does what its spec claims it does, which might (or might not) coincide with what you would expect it to do."

Factories can be supplied by libraries to build objects a certain way, instead of cramming every possible way into the constructors of a language. In the simplest case, a "Factory" is simply a set of methods/functions that return a instance configured a certain way. Lets say I have a Software Radio class. Now each ins...

JavaScript is a lot better than people give it credit for, in spite of a few rather glaring design mistakes.

Yeah, once upon a time, Perl was mildly more convenient. Now though, it's outgrown that purpose and become akin to attacking a fly with a machete. So I'm fairly pleased with my decision to stick with shell at the time. (Though it's worth mentioning that I like zsh.)

I guess, but I'm still having a really hard time seeing any sort of usecase where that is desirable. Even if you had the count surely you would want to be able to read the slots in order to decide where to make the insertion.

Seconded. It's really damn useful for making those null checks shorter. i.e. x = getX() if x # do something end rather than x = getX() if x and x != 0 # do something end It's a small difference, but once it's language wide, it makes the distinction between having a value and ...

You are completely wrong. Sun sued MS for extending the Windows version of Java *only*, i.e. preventing it from working everywhere as it was designed to do. I think they did the right thing to sue them. Why? Check in Wikipedia "embrace, extend, extinguish".

Annotation processors are a giant pain in the ass in my experience. We were using one for Bindgen in our Wicket code (to have type-checked property models instead of magical reflection strings), and yeah, it builds okay, but we had real issues with IDEs.
