I wonder if this is general discussion.
"Dart helps on things like 3D gaming."
Pretty overkill for MyBB. I highly doubt MyBB 2.0 would need such performance. It is just a bulletin board after all. An application like Gmail would require something like this but we don't intend to write 2.0 purely on Javascript and AJAX.

Also it will take several years before browsers besides Chrome start actually supporting this new language. There isn't much point of using it if it only works in one browser, even if it has much better performance.

Well, since the Dart editor allows exporting in Javascript (Or rather, the SDK offers dart2js compiler), it'd be simple to write it in Dart, export it in both, and offer the respective version to whoever's browsing.
But like Nathan said, this seems to really only have a needed impact on larger apps. I'm curious what everyone else has to say about it though.

Heavens why not?! ^^ lol
So if this Dart is the "js" of the future... what's the future of php?
Frameworks are the current movement for php development.
