You claimed that Dart is a flawed language. Substantiate that claim. Basic stuff here. If you can't, I must assume you're a troll or have no clue yet somehow think you do. > Do you…

What exactly are those instructions? You or your friend have a misunderstanding. This dual-implementation will benefit the project as a whole (whether you prefer JS or Dart). That'…

> it was fairly obvious that some of the guys didn't want Dart in there I don't think it was obvious. It may be true but they were uncontroversial comments on a controversial topic…

Certainly possible but remember that "contractor" and "employee" have legal definitions. You can't "just" call an employee (by the legal definition) a contractor. (Edit: I see ljos…

They have deprecation policies in at least some cases. They may not be unconditional guarantees but they're still just risk factors to be evaluated individually. I have no problem …

It's not as if the president is an uninterested party. He very much supports the NSA, is in a position of power on the matter and if he's got nothing to hide then he has nothing to…

No, I'm not. I'm sure you can do your own search for "law", "tax", "immigration", etc. If you had done that, I'd have no issue with a civil critique of the content but to dismiss (…

Those things are covered and if you would have taken the time to do even a cursory review before writing your baseless dismissal you would have seen this. It's clear this is an evo…
