Python, as I found out to my detriment, is practically impossible to
sandbox effectively. Any language that hopes to gain full traction in
a browser-based environment MUST be secure against scripts gaining too
much control over the browser chrome.

Also, Dart is looking to support (optional) strict typing, which
Python doesn't do. That's a fairly major performance enhancement.
