so google invents a shit new web browser language and instead of `transpiling' it to javascript they're hard coding it into chrome or something, I don't know.
Many people have asked these assholes, why don't you just make a VM so that we can compile all our bullshit languages like coffeshit, clojureshit, elm, js_of_ocaml, etc. Of course they don't do this, that would actually be useful!
Instead they go into great depths explaining why they didn't do that: https://www.dartlang.org/articles/why-not-bytecode/
..but of course Dart does not have tail call elimination: https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=29
it makes "debugging" hard or something.. it's just lies.

If you want true dynamic dispatch, tail call elimination, or restartable conditions, you’re stuck. It’s not just that Java lacks them, the bytecode does too
