Google Will Not Integrate Its Dart Programming Language Into Chrome

The lingua franca of the web is JavaScript, but with Dart, Google launched a project that effectively aimed to replace JavaScript. In Google’s view, Dart offered advantages like static typing and other features that made it a better choice for developers.he idea was for Google and other browser vendors to integrate Dart right into the browser, but even Google itself never did so (except for launching a special build of Chrome that supported it), and now it looks like it never will.Inside of Google, the company’s teams now maintain about a million lines of Dart code, so Google isn’t likely to completely abandon the language anytime soon. Indeed, Bak and Lund note that the Google Ads team especially remains committed to the language.
