One of the things that Rust (GC free zero cost memory management), Swift (the official iOS programming language with excellent UI libraries) and Blueprint (easy coding for non-coders in UE4) have made crystal clear to me is that, if you choose to create a new programming language rather than using an existing one, you need to actually decide what the draw card you have is, over other existing solutions, and stick to it. Dart has consistently failed to be anything more interesting than slightly better javascript that interops poorly with existing the existing javascript ecosystem. That is not a draw card. Now, it seems to be trying to be 'a generally useful programming language you can use on multiple platforms'. That's not a draw card. Just stop! Please actually focus on making Dart something special, or give up on it. There's this thing, where you make something and you get invested in it, and it becomes to politically complicated to throw away. I have no technical objections to Dart, it's a fairly nice language; but I too, cannot come up with any reason to either use it, or be excited about the future of it.
