I haven't seen anything about Dart (the big win would be eliminating the really slow DOM "GC" cycles on the webkit/blink side of things), but it would be interesting if this opened the way for easier VM integration. My understanding was that post-webkit they were tying v8 deeper into blink, though, not allowing more flexibility...
Thanks, yeah, that was my guess too (fix leaks by GCing DOM stuff, which is a nice idea), I was surprised to hear it was related to Dart somehow. I can't seem to find anything online explaining a connection between them (is it just speculation?).
