Please Consider Dart & Dartium

[mmommo]

I believe this has been discussed here or some where, I just cannot found any existing issue here.

For the following reasons, I believe it's got a lot of advantages to embed Dartium instead of Chromium:

1. Dart is a lot faster.
2. Dart is much better structured for large scale apps - critical.
3. Dart is new and fun to play with. A very well designed language.
4. Dartium can still run js & Dart can still call js, we loose nothing here.

I know Dart can compile to js, but it'll be very hard to test & debug during developing.

If someone can make the embeded dartium to call dart-io directly, that'll be killer project (which I don't think could be harder than this project) . But that we would be able to abandon node & js completely and the name won't be node-webkit any more, and I believe Google will make that happen sooner or later. but anyway Dart is too new & a long way to go. Node & js will be holding it's strength for years.

You might want to check out NiDIUM, although I don’t think that it will support Dart directly.

@mmommo, thanks for your suggestion. But to implement your idea, another project has to be launched, it has nothing to do with this project.

To develop with compiled dart in node-webkit, the source map feature can be used.

I agree with everything you said bad so far nothing has been implemented

@rogerwang - Can you please share an example for using compiled dart or a getting started link for the same. Didn't found any relevant information regarding this. - "To develop with compiled dart in node-webkit, the source map feature can be used."
