#2Lol, I assumed a joke immediately due to the figure and subject, but forgot the date for a second :)

What's so bad about Dart, if you disregard the "Google is trying to subvert the web" angst from people who have invested heavily in the javascript world? I quite like the optional typing in the language, for instance.
I just wish there was more serverside-development happening in Dart - it seems 95% client-side focused at the moment (dart2js and flutter).

A new language that doesn't solve anything better than Smalltalk did.

#10Hopefully they introduce namespaces (like matriona) and the type system of strongtalk with gradual typing.
edit: just realized this was an april fools :(
