The list of people I covered is just the tip of the iceberg that makes Dart (not even talking about the broader community!).

It's always fascinating to learn about the people behind a technology as well as who the early adopers are whether that's Dart or Clojure or Elixir.

You have this set of people who create something new and this set of people who want to and can adopt it. It's fascinating.

Dart is nice. I wish Dart and Golang teams had more intersection...

Dart has a very talented team but they have not filled its potential yet if one is judging by popularity and perception.

It's still early days for Dart. Go was started in 2007, Python in 1991, Ruby in 1995. It takes some time for a platform and ecosystem to become established.

"When you look at Ruby you will find Matz and DHH".

This is wrong. Matz (and only Matz) is the one you will find. DHH wrote a web framework with Ruby, but he hasn't contributed to Ruby at all. Ruby existed 10 years before Rails came into fruition.

He probably meant to say Ruby (and Rails)? Didn't Rails contribute greatly to the popularity of Ruby itself though - I think it would hard to argue otherwise.

tosh, I have become more and more interested in Dart recently and was wondering where you use it in the company?

I have read Quire's (http://www.quire.io) article on using Dart to develop their application and it seemed very positive. I just wondered about your experience.
