Dart is not perfect either but it hangs together slightly better. It's not to my taste, and I don't see it replacing JS by acclamation, but again: can we improve ES6 classes by reflecting on what's good in it?

There will be a lecture on Dart this coming Wednesday at Stanford. Here is the announcement:
