This is from a year ago, but this is also the first time I've heard of it. Do we know the progress of this movement today? Googling for "Dash Language" and variants doesn't give me anything of note.

Google is unveiling this new language at the Goto conference next month:

Edit: this one says Dart, not Dash

Calling it 'Dart' is rather confusing, given that there's already an existing Google product called DART: http://www.google.com/doubleclick/publishers/dart.html

And Dash is confusing because there is already a shell/language called dash: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Debian_Almqui...

So is it Dash or Dart? It was referred to as Dart earlier in the week when someon linked the conf that Lars Bak / Gilad Bracha (spelling) would be revealing all at. I'm confused now.

It is Dart.

But considering Google already stole the name "Go" from another language, it's likely that they just don't care.
