Hi! I'm on the Dart team. If you'd like, I'll try to answer any questions you have.
1. One big issue with JavaScript applications is that they are single threaded. Does Dart/Web Component platform provide any solution to this?
2. Will we see another UI rendering layer other than DOM for Dart?

If I'm using GWT, should I be thinking about using Dart instead?
Is anybody using Dart for significant production code outside of Google? (Not mocking, genuinely curious to hear whats being done with it)
I use Dart in production, it has its advatages like: 1.- It is better than JavaScript, is like using C# with a litle mix of Java. 2.- It comes with its own libraries, no more underscore.js or other patch libraries that JS needs, it is already in the toolkit. 3.- It comes with the Dart Editor, where you can debug your code easily, for scalable projects I find this to be invaluable. 4.- It will run in all your browsers…
If you include all of your 'standard' libraries in a JS app, it can be pretty big. I basically pull everything together for an Ember app I work on, and all-told it's ~3MB prior to minification. Minification takes it down to ~1.5MB, and Gzip-compression on the server takes it sub-1MB (can't recall the number off-hand). It's not that far off from what you might have in a JS-heavy app.

Does it have anything like AngularJS?

We also have Dart packages for the Polymer project's core-elements and paper-elements (Material Design, nee Quantum Paper) that were announced at I/O.

Web components and Dart is a really powerful combination for apps.

Surprisingly few Google properties on there, I must say. Yes, many most certainly have large existing code-bases, but that it doesn't include things like the new Google Maps (which, AIUI, has relatively little in common with the old version) seems… interesting.

In my line of work (web analytics), I have to use third-party JavaScript libraries in order to integrate tools onto my page, like Adobe Analytics (formerly Omniture SiteCatalyst) or IBM CoreMetrics or WebTrends. Fully instrumenting a page generally involves wiring up other JavaScript on the page with event handlers for web analytics functions (e.g. video play/pause/progress, with video name & length as parameters).
Most analytics tools are also moving towards asychronously-loaded script-injection techniques, like Adobe DTM or Ensighten. These usually include the ability to selectively load relevant libraries, like only having video tracking on video pages.
What's Dart's story for interacting with tools like that?

Dart on Android?
Will the Dart IDE look correctly on Windows 8 high-dpi devices? (I know that's partially an Eclipse problem)
In fact, what is the future of Dart? Is it just a complement to browser-based JavaScript?

> 2.- The generated JavaScript will be huge, and I mean huge, mine is like 460k per file and I'm not using polymer, when I used polymer the generated JavaScript was over one megabyte, just insane in the cloud.

I think Blossom [1] switched to it. They had some articles on their blog about the switch [2]. [1] https://www.blossom.io/ [2] http://www.ramen.io/post/46936028144/we-are-switching-to-dar...
We're super happy with Dart & really excited about polymer. Love the language & platform in general.
We'll put out some essays, code snippets & lessons learned in the next few days :)
Stay tuned.
