  • is there a Dart / ActionScript comparison ?

    At first glance, Dart sits between JavaScript and Java.
    But there was already a language sitting the middle, another language with optional typing too, and oriented for simplified web devleopment too: ActionScript!

    So, often, when I think about Dart, I just wonder how far Dart is from ActionScript. At first sight, Dart looks like the Google's own ActionScript language.
