Google Dart. Not sure if this language gonna hit the nail. Does anyone here think, it can be replaced with the Javascript?
NEVER. Because google is evil and will probably include automatic feedback to their ads. I don't trust google, nor ANYTHING they produce. It's very clear to me what their strategy is. NOTHING is free. There is a much darker purpose for Dart.

Dart is java, not much to learn really, but makes sense. Pretty sure Microsoft will hurry up with a Visual Dart++ (or Visual D# :) ) of some sort.
I prefer just Visual D plugin with plain old D 2.0 :)

Well, according to this article on Los Techies[^], a simple Dart 'Hello World' program compiles to 17259 lines of code. :wtf:
The world is going to laugh at you anyway, might as well crack the 1st joke! Life is too short to remove USB safely. Have you tried turning it off and on again? Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?

That should be D-flat. On the keyboard, D-flat is the same as C-sharp. And I usually use a lower case b for the flat sign (like we use a hash sign for sharp), so we have Db, which also means database. D-sharp is a tone up from C-sharp, and the same as E-flat on the keyboard, which is contrary to the natural progression of the computer industry, which is ...

Need a version that's easy for old guys like me to pick up. It should have a catchy name, perhaps something that rhymes with Dart...

You cannot go wrong by not bothering to learn a new language until 2 years after its first public release. If the language is *not* the Next Big Thing, you will never have to learn it at all. You'll know by two years. If the language is the Next Big Thing, it will have had a couple new releases and most of the early bugs and breaking changes will be out of the way. There's no way to keep current in 36 languages. You can only have a couple in your fingers at a given time. Yeah, once you've programmed in a given language for 5 years or so, you do have pretty permanent habits. But learning for learning's sake is mostly a dead-end game for practitioners.
