Hell, use the JVM or the CLR, just as long as it doesn't tie me to a specific language. Dart may be better than JavaScript (I would hope so) but that doesn't mean it's a silver bullet. If we create a standardized bytecode, it doesn't matter what…

#golang had Limbo in its ancestry, another CSP language, this time for the Inferno register-based VM from Bell Labs. Target Go at a browser VM?
