> I was unaware that a poll had been taken of all web developers asking whether they wanted Dart.

A few hours ago at JQuery UK someone asked Paul Irish what he thought of Dart. Then the whole room laughed. PI mentioned 'its complicated' and then that 'Dart has a place' and then everyone laughed again.

So a knee jerk unintelligent response by some random group of Javascript programmers, given without context, is supposed to mean something?


Paul Irish works with the Chrome team at Google.


Who said anything about Paul Irish?

The knee jerk reaction I was referring to was the "the whole room" of js guys that "laughed".


I think you missed the point of the comment.


Maybe. It sounds like the made fun of PI and/or Dart.

But I cannot understand either the point or why. If you could chip in with some context, I'd be grateful.


Haberman's post mentioned he was unaware of a poll of all web developers on Dart. I mentioned a recent example of such a thing with a large sample size. That's all.
