Dart: Google's new attempt at the next big thing.

Google has given it another go at making an excellent programming language. Recently they introduced Dart a language meant to fix some of the most fundamental problems in JavaScript. The Syntax is C-styled, and the code is easy enough to understand, however the reaction to Dart is not at all what google expected. Programmers tend to stick to time-tested, proven things, and it's very hard to pull them away from that. What google has to do is appeal to that crowd of programmers and web designers that like using what they use and only that. They have to give that crowd the awe-factor. And right now it's not looking like they are accomplishing that goal.
