well, I guess waiting a bit for the real presentation would be a good idea. Dart's connection to Smalltalk is currently just an extrapolation. Not that I would have anything against if it turns true, but currently there are very few facts supporting it. Davorin Rusevljan http://www.cloud208.com/

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Cheers Philippe

Interesting comment. I was extrapolating from the idea that SUN's support for java is what made it successful despite it was obsolete from the beginning. Also what Microsoft did with C# So a Smalltalk like language with the support from Google would be nice and with lots of potential to become a commercial success...

we should petition them to support Smalltalk not a new language.
