On: Google's Dart doesn't support deserialising JSON (or anything) into Dart Types

I'm kind of interested why you considered Dart in the first place.

Google has such a poor track record in language design, that when I was looking for a compile-to-JavaScript language I didn't even consider Dart.

I wrote a blog post some time ago:

And while responding to comments, I read a little more about Dart and it started to look quite appealing. I spend too much of my day maintaining and debugging legacy JavaScript written years ago in sub-optimal ways.

Just out of curiosity, what is Google's track record in language design? I don't remember any languages coming from them besides Go and Dart.
