No browser hacks required.&lt;p&gt;Having said that, I wish they would stop working on advancing Dart and ship a 1.0 version. It&apos;s been 1.5 years since it was announced. Make the advancements in the 1.1 or 2.0 and give the tool developers a solid target to optimize for in 1.0. Let us not have to sell clients on a beta development system, even though that&apos;s what I&apos;m doing and it&apos;s working, despite some panic when Dart developers break things with breaking changes (which is often.)</text></comment>
