And yet nobody seems to be interested in Dart.

Dart isn't hugely popular because it's targeting Java developers and early-adopter web developer types more often come from a background in dynamic languages. And they don't like Eclipse. Dart will be successful when it is necessary for all enterprises to do front-end coding where the tools make up for some of the lower skills.

This post is not javascript, it is coffeescript. Stop confusing the two.

From Coffeescript's website: The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: "It's just JavaScript". There was nothing at all coffeescript specific about his examples, other than the syntax. The issues he pointed out were javascript issues discussed using coffeescript syntax.

Just because it's printed on the internet doesn't make it true.

Just because you say something doesn't make it true :)
