To be fair, the listed Self paper did age quite well!

There is a recent YT video on Dart & Wasm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgOABOvtBT8

You can effectively try this today in Dart. When running in the browser, Dart can compile to either JavaScript or Wasm and both backends support DOM access via https://pub.dev/pack…

[ I work on Dart at Google. ] The app prototyping logic in Firebase Studio isn't wired up for Flutter/Dart yet. You can play with Gemini+Dart/Flutter here: https://dartpad.dev/?cha…

[ I work on Dart ] We're still working on this, and you can find updates in the language repo. One reason we're taking extra time here is that macros / static metaprogramming can b…

For Wasm, yes, we're targeting the new garbage collection support using the experimental implementation in Chrome. We think this has the potential to help with performance.

[I lead Dart eng.] Sorry you had poor experiences. :-( That said, it was true that Dart was used heavily internally in that time frame. It was and still is, by Ads (ads.google.com)…

Regarding AngularDart, see: https://medium.com/dartlang/angulardart-flutter-and-the-web-... TL;DR - It's still heavily used inside of Google, but the team decided to stop maintaini…

[I'm the eng lead for Dart.] Dart itself is used heavily on the Web by Google. E.g., ads.google.com is a Dart web app - but not a Flutter one. It uses a Dart version of the Angular…

Thanks - not what I'd expect, but I can repro. Bug filed here: https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/45197 It is AOT though. If you time `dart a.dart` vs `./a.exe` (pre strip :-)…

[Disclaimer: I work on the Dart team.] The TS code indeed looks cool. This is an area we're looking at. One point, though: we try to be very careful to not regress performance or d…

[ disclaimer: I work on the Dart team. ] As timsneath mentioned above, Dartpad is the dev environment. That means we ship the full Dart and Flutter SDK ahead of time as you can typ…

[ disclaimer: I work on the Dart team ] It depends on how you run. Dart can either run in JIT mode or AOT mode. In general, when you ship a production app (e.g., for Flutter), you …

"Instant" is a relative word (unless we're actually at 0 time :-)). We're focus on client apps, where we're really focused on human perception. In that sense, I'd consider 22ms or …

[disclaimer: I work on the Dart team.] As others have already noted, the intent here is to purely measure the one-time startup cost of the runtime in ahead-of-time compiled code - …

The author appears to be looking at the deployed size of a debug build. A release build (as per the instructions) is `webdev serve --release`.
