I know it confuses but I then use it when ever a process is designed to render an application down to smaller and faster. Sometimes it goes no further than P-Code, or translator code or minimizing code (modernizr) or correlate or assemble and then there is JIT compilers. Supposedly, the new webkit is written in JavaScript compiled all the way to native assembler... The compiler, went finished will be an OSS project. There are languages like Truetype that are supposed to extend the language. Dart is not one of those but creates a structured environment in which to code, create classes etc and then renders (as you do not like the word compile) the results down to true HTML 5 JavaScript.

Please, can we stop this abuse of the word "compiler" which has crept in recently. To me a compiler is still something that converts a high level language to a low level set of instructions - usually machine code. Javascript is an interpreted language.. Dart uses a "cross-language translator", not a compiler to generate javascript. -- Stuart On 19 Mar 2013 at 11:15, Jim Lawrence wrote: > Hi All: > > Has anyone seen or worked with the Dart product?
