While we are waiting for the approval of our interview with the Google Darts developers we have found some tweets from the speakers for you to read.

I liked the type system ideas in #dart. Particularly the ‘innocent until proven guilty’ idea.

Fred George (@fgeorge52)

#gotocon Dart very clean. But road is littered with failed languages that are just cleaner. It needs to do some type of app better. What?

Jake Archibad (@jaffathecake)

Optional types in Dart are a good idea, but no reason JS couldn’t have those. We saw that in AS2 and it did nice things for tooling #gotocon

Dart: Cynical view – http://xkcd.com/927/, fairer view – JS could make it quickly irrelevant by adopting the good bits. #gotocon

#gotocon DART is pretty cool at first glance … though revolution or evolution … need to dig deeper #dart

I think main premise behind #Dart will be based on its future performance … expect it to be very fast otherwise nice little lang #gotocon

Wow. The #dart repository really contains the whole world and a bit more.

Compiling Hello world for #dart generates a half-meg JavaScript file. I think they talked about using tree-shaking at some point.

Headache. Think I’ll skip the conference party tonight.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I still like inheritance #gotocon
