Another new programming language? Google registers DartLanguage.com

Programming language

This makes not one but two batches of language related domains Google has registered in recent days. 

On September 1, Google registered several domain names revolving around the words ‘Dart’ and ‘Language’ including DartLanguage.com, GoogleDart.com and many more.

At the end of August Google filed a trademark application for Spot and purchased several domains including SpotLanguage.net.  While no trademark application for ‘Dart’ as a programming language has surfaced yet, Google does have trademarks for DART (such as DART search) which it retired after acquiring Doubleclick.  And you can bet that a trademark application will be filed with the United States and Patent Trademark Office any time now.

The list of new registrations include:

http://whois.domaintools.com/dartlang.com 
http://whois.domaintools.com/dartlang.net 
http://whois.domaintools.com/dartlang.org   
http://whois.domaintools.com/dartlanguage.com 
http://whois.domaintools.com/dartlanguage.net

http://whois.domaintools.com/googledart.com 
http://whois.domaintools.com/googledart.net 
http://whois.domaintools.com/googledart.org 

Google went as far to even purchase dart-lang.com, dart-lang.net and dart-lang.org.
