True, there are many similarities. But it seems to me that the author of this article makes Dart appear even more like Java by ignoring Dart features and idioms.
For instance, what's the point of those Java style getter methods in the Movie class? These are public instance variables after all, and Dart has special property syntax to transparently wrap instance variables if and when the need arises.
I know next to nothing about Dart. So maybe there is a reason for this weirdness. But I rather suspect that the author has written a lot of Java and almost no Dart in his life.
