I’m so mad!!!
No, actually I’m not. This is cool.
It’s so confusing! No, it’s actually not. Use your learnings and read this Node Forward and read Max’s @maxogden “What you need to know.” gist.
It’ll be so hard to test this and test with node.js. Not really, again, read the threads there are a million different ways that you’ll be able to setup a clean build against either while keeping both around on your dev machine. Again, repeating myself, this is cool.
Summary for Devs: This is cool. It’s not going to wreck your projects. Just read up on it and it’ll all be a most excellent journey.
Summary for Decision Makers: Read @eranhammer‘s blog post here. TLDR; is, don’t second guess your decision to go with Node.js, don’t flip out about a Node.js or io.js investment, this isn’t anything more than a healthy ecosystem at work. It’ll be cool.
io.js turns into a Unix effect on node.js — does this mean Dart has legs? http://www.infoworld.com/article/2853733/application-development/google-revs-dart-to-18-but-is-the-language-still-on-target.html
I’m still not 100% sure about Dart. I like it a fair bit, but it still doesn’t seem to have a concrete enough implementation in the systems it’d be used in – i.e. in the browser(s). Until then, I doubt it takes any massive hold in the industry and sort of stays in this hybrid state of a “pre-build-code-system-to-build-the-actual-system-code-language”. That sounds nuts, but describing Dart to many people often makes one sound kind of crazy when they have to do the twists and turns to get it into production. 😉
…as always though, I’m keeping an eye on it. 😀
I was wondering why Redmond DA’s were all over Angular. Angular will be using TypeScript. Leaving questions about Dart. Kevin Moore answers. http://work.j832.com/2015/03/angulartsjsatdartwtf.html
Haha “it’ll be cool” Great analysis, well-argumented!
