Definitely not.

There's a lot going on, yes. Lots of folks are out on vacation right now, but Jacob Richman can add some details when he gets back.

But essentially, dart:js is a proxy object approach to interop, using strings for looking up methods/properties. The new approach won't involve proxies, which will make it a lot easier to pass things back and forth between Dart and JS, and you'll be able to make calls directly in most cases, as long as you provide an interface so Dart knows what the type/method signature looks like.

That's excellent news!

Is there a repository we can watch for updates?

Wow...good news...existing proxy is really slow to pass large data around

So far the changes have been going into Dartium. e.g. I saw these two reviews:


After Dartium there's the dart2js side, so those will be in https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk

Definitely there will be an announcement when it's ready to try out. I'm really excited to try it out too!

Would be awesome if there was tooling that could mesh TernJS or similar to spit out some basic interfaces from Javascript/Typescript etc that we can then massage further.

Looks like we might already have a way to consume Typesecript from dart!!!
