As of last week's AngularDart announcement, it sounded like the size of Dart to JS compiled code was still rather large. I'm surprised a 1.0 release has been cut if that is still a problem. I know dart2js can and I'm sure will be improved later, but people are going to make judgements about Dart the language based on its current performance. https://github.com/jbdeboer/angular-dart-js-size/blob/master...

>You claimed that Dart is a flawed language. I was echoing OP (the one who was bemoaning snark and cynicism). Read his paragraphs. Flawed doesn't mean crippled. There are things about Dart I like. A language can't be perfect. >No, they both thrive and benefit from the other. Pay attention to negative feedback. Some substantial portion of AngularJS devs are unhappy. >Take a cursory look and you'll find some arguments for Dart I'm not arguing for Dart's existence here, I'm saying Dart has absolutely no chance of securing the browser's runtime over javascript. Why Dart, why not Go? >So you know more about dart2js capabilities than the creators of V8 and Dart? https://github.com/jbdeboer/angular-dart-js-size/blob/master... 173KB. This is ridiculous.

Yes. You need to add a @MirrorsUsed annotation in your main.dart file. See https://github.com/jbdeboer/angular-dart-js-size/blob/master... for our current best practices. You should get ~173KB gzipped, minified dart2js output.

Are you sure you are using the latest version? Angular was an early user of mirrors (reflection) which (more or less) disabled the tree-shaking of dart2js. This was recently improved. Tracking the size of AngularDart: https://github.com/jbdeboer/angular-dart-js-size
