Considering they have Rob Pike and Ken Thompson on board, I'm surprised they decided to adopt shitCase.

I'd rather have a single bloated libc on my system than a bloated libgo that gets included in every executable even if you only use one function. FreeBASIC has a statically linked runtime library including a 300 KB graphics package, but only links in the functions you actually use. Go's linker is full retard.

You know what would be best? Having gentle BDSM sex with Fluttershy. But in Real World we can't reach our most wanted desires.
Real World does not provide VM, web browser have nothing but Javascript. That's why Dart will be able to live quite long. And if the day of Great-VM-that-will-be-supported-by-at-least-FF-and-chrome will come, then it will shine. Coffeescript will shine also. Right now they are just working rather that waiting for Saviour VM.
people at firefox and webkit have come together to quickly implement things before (eg webgl), so i don't think it is impossible. just very difficult, possibly for political reasons.

>an open VM that web developers could use any sort of language on
Something like the JVM?

The first and last time I checked out Dart's website was with Opera. If they can't be assed to white list my browser I don't see why I should bother to try out their own 2011 flavor of VBScript.
right, like how people use the JVM as a host for other languages (clojure, scala, etc)
basically that, except a JSVM that runs javascript and lets us implement other languages on the VM

Why not just use a macro processor or translator that converts the source language into JavaScript?

Except its startup time is not acceptable. So more like AVM2.

I want to hear more about those "incestuous unions".
Sounds hot.

Algol 68 allows spaces in variable names and lets people use real mathematical symbols and keywords in multiple languages while still allowing representational variants for 4-, 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-bit character encodings. Go can't. Algol is used on Russian and American space craft. Go isn't. Algol has a consistent syntax good enough for the creators of Pascal, Ada, BCPL (which begat C), Simula, and Smalltalk to copy. Go uses a poor copy of C's syntax, as if C were patented and they couldn't use it. Being designed for multiprocessor systems and not limited microcomputers, Algol 68 allows parallel clauses and semaphores. Go has channels, which could be simulated in Algol using standard parallel constructs. Algol has statement expressions and nested functions like Perl and JavaScript, but unlike C (except GCC and other nonstandard variants). Go does too. So what? Go is supposed to be higher-level than C and was designed with JavaScript in mind. One can easily conclude that Go is shit, but I won't take it that far. I'd place it somewhere between a joke esolang and "something someone on /prog/ invented on a bored weekend."

The Forced Use Of K&R Style
``It's important to put the opening brace of a construct such as an if statement on the same line as the if; however, if you don't, there are situations that may not compile or may give the wrong result. The language forces the brace style to some extent.''
"To be perfectly honest, Rob [Pike] and I would get annoyed having to look at code written in other peoples brace styles, so we forced it in the design. We wanted to force people to stop using camelcase too, but we figured no one would use the language and just stick with Java."

Algol is shit compared to Lisp, which itself is shit parenthesized.
Yes dart is great. They actually do typechecking and then let it fail by design:
"Unsound" is a spooky-sounding word. All it means, though, is that the type checker lets through some programs that at runtime turn out to fail with an error related to a value's type, such as cow.oink() throwing NoSuchMethodException. Really, this is normal.
Nowadays this seems to be normal. That is just great.

And what does this mean:
In both cases, you don't necessarily have to add types to the bodies of methods or functions. Users of the library get value from type signatures, even if they are not 100% accurate.
I can get value from type signatures, even if they are not accurate?
