The thing I was really hoping for from the dart site was an "about" section, or a "why" section, explaining about the language and their goals, instead of just jumping to code examples...
That's a fair point, but it's pretty annoying when you read about some cool new language but you can't find any good sample code anywhere. anic and newspeak come to mind.
For the record, anic was and still is pure vaporware. Sample code exists but there is no working compiler or interpreter to run it...
