My point isn't that you should apologize -- why should you? Any more than Sun should apologize for Java, or Microsoft for .NET Sometimes shit needs to get done, and people need to make things happen. Google is trying to fix some problems; no big deal. You see "Tower of Babel", I see the free market offering alternatives.

And don't be so quick to dismiss the likelihood of other browsers adopting Dart... If I'm not mistaken, IE supports Javascript, right?

Let's argue languages based on technical merits, not how or by whom they were developed.

Those of us old enough to remember (Brendan, that should include you) know that Javascript itself was developed by a company (Netscape) in pretty much exactly the same way, for pretty much exactly the same reasons. Get off your high horse...
