I meant Dart 1.17... Duh.

Interestingly there was an interview related to Dart and Adwords 
UI

http://news.dartlang.org/2016/03/the-new-adwords-ui-uses-dart-we-asked.html

I found these quotes interesting:

«One thing we found out was that developers preferred even 
stronger type checking than what Dart was providing. So, we are 
very excited about the work on Dart Strong Mode. We are also 
looking forward to cross-browser, fast edit refresh with the 
upcoming Dart Dev Compiler.»

and

«With Angular2, the application performance and code size are 
very similar between the JS and Dart versions. So any team 
considering Angular2 should consider Dart as well.»

Dunno. Still not sure about the future of Dart, but stricter 
static typing is a good selling point.
