I wanted to develop the front end with dart but the final Js size 
ended up being too large and I evaluated that grunt and bower 
with webstorm are relatively more mature environments at the 
moment. I really do accept that these dev environments might 
change frequently at that level though, and I'm satisfied by the 
stability outlooks of D and underlying databases which make up 
for it.
