How much faster can we expect Dart apps to run with the VM vs JIT'ed JavaScript? If we can get a 5x-10x boost, I think a lot more will become possible in the browser. At some point, I would hope Webkit and Firefox would adopt it. Why not?

If Google was only interested in putting a faster language into Chrome they could have just shipped with LuaJIT for Lua and been done with it. Obviously they're more interested in playing around in their own sandbox (Dart).
