Google just unveiled its new programming language called Dart, a programming language for creating web applications with ease.
Dart is a new programming language for building web based applications that are flexible, scalable and easy to use. The language has been released after some serious testing by Google. The language is simple, powerful and easy to use with some feature rich components.
Google has made it a point that the new language will help programmers and developers “create a structures yet flexible language for web programming, make Dart feel familiar and natural to programmers and thus easy to learn, and ensure that Dart delivers high performance on all modern web browsers and environments ranging from small handheld devices to server-side execution.”
The development tools are available at Dartlang.org and a detailed view of the platform with neat documentation has been provided there. The website also has an inbuilt compiler for Dart, where you could try out some sample applications.
Google has made it a point to provide three major features of Dart:

- Make Dart feel familiar and natural to programmers and thus easy to learn.
- Ensure that Dart delivers high performance on all modern web browsers and environments ranging from small handheld devices to server-side execution.[/quote]
The language also supports two execution methods. One is using a virtual machine and the other is using a JavaScript compiler, that’s capable of converting Dart code to JavaScript code.
As with Google’s all other projects, the Dart language is opensourced and is available for trying at Dartlang.org.
