(Wikipedia) “Some examples, like Dart, portend that JavaScript has fundamental flaws and to support these scenarios requires a ‘clean break’ from JavaScript in both syntax and runtime. We disagree with this point of view.” - Microsoft’s JavaScript team

If Google comes out with Dart, well, then there's no need for that. But it's ok for Microsoft to be secretly working on their own Javascript 2.0. Just sayin' - Why criticize Dart when you've just come with almost the same thing? :)

But snark aside, good job Microsoft. Well done.
