TypeScript at Slack

I personally haven't spent too much time looking at Dart, but I find it pretty suspicious that TypeScript is on Google's list of approved languages for projects, while Dart is interestingly missing. I'm sure there's upsides to Dart, but I would certainly need to spend more time with it to make a judgement call.

Dart is doing fine inside Google. It is used by extremely important projects, like, for example Adwords. These teams are very happy with it and have no intention of changing.

Brad Green already posted a follow-up post on the omission of Dart on his slides: http://angularjs.blogspot.dk/2017/04/official-languages-at-g...

(I work on Dart.)

Even though I work with Typescript daily, Typescript feels like a stop-gap measure until ES6 /ES.Next take hold. Dart feels like the future - given Fuchsia + Flutter + Android apps in Chrome, etc. - if they can just work out some of the rough edges(e.g. isolates with Flutter) and make it more harmonious with JS/DOM - let's face it: We are stuck with the JS/HTML/CSS stack for the foreseeable future.

The official list is a new process. TS was one of the first to go through that process. I wouldn't read too much into it.
