The list of people I covered is just the tip of the iceberg that makes Dart (not even talking about the broader community!).

It's always fascinating to learn about the people behind a technology as well as who the early adopers are whether that's Dart or Clojure or Elixir.

You have this set of people who create something new and this set of people who want to and can adopt it. It's fascinating.

tosh, I have become more and more interested in Dart recently and was wondering where you use it in the company?

I have read Quire's (http://www.quire.io) article on using Dart to develop their application and it seemed very positive. I just wondered about your experience.

Right now we use Dart for the desktop browser optimized version of Blossom and for a bunch of command line/build tools to manage things like building, testing, release tagging and deployment.

We're super happy with the language and platform. DartPad (https://dartpad.dartlang.org/) is a great way to get a feeling for the tool support of Dart (semantic autocompletion, helpful warnings etc).

I'll write more about Dart and how we use it at Blossom (https://www.blossom.co) going forward.
