One of the nice things about the Dart talk, besides that it seems to be a new fantastic technology, was the sarcastic remarks made by Gilad Bracha. Here is a short list of them some of these:

• “Sun didn’t want to continue the Self project since it was so visionary” [Concerning the past of Lars Bak and Gilad Bracha]
• “In the past, the type checker always won, it was like Roman Law: “Guilty until proven innocent”. With the Dart type-checker you are innocent until proven guilty” and “There this new magical type “Dynamic” which make the type checker shut up” [On Darts optional type system]
• “I do do mistakes but obviously you won’t do anything stupid” [On doing mistakes when coding]
• “Preserving order is important for your sanity” [On messages send to Isolate ports]
