Creating an object:

    Greeter greeter = new Greeter()

or

    var greeter = new Greeter()

Defining a constant:

    static final myConst = 1

Plus there are classes, interfaces... It's just Java?

The "hello world" example is incredibly uninformative. What does that have to do with "structured web programming"? Where is this printed out on a web page? Does the console output there correspond to the html output? Or some other console?

Hmm. A little underwhelmed so far.

Can anyone explain why I should use this instead of other web programming languages?

Looks like an extended javascript with strong typing and more OO support, is it designed to replace javascript?

New MIME type "application/dart"... I suspect that Google Chrome will embed a Dart Runtime when it gets stable, that will be very interesting; I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing though.

It's actually runnable if you click the "play"-icon in the top-left of the code sample.

The "Hello, Dart!" is written to a console emerging from underneath the code sample.

https://code.google.com/p/dart/source/browse/branches/bleedi... is a more DOM-oriented version of the same program.

I don't get it. What's the runtime for this? The interpreter seems to be running on App Engine, so it's probably JVM based, right?
