Yeah, this is my impression too. This is the first mention of it I think I've heard in the last year, and I'm in the web development scene. Meanwhile I seemingly can't get away from rust mentions, which seems to have people really excited.

I have the impression that Dart's lunch got eaten by TypeScript. The latter is the preferred "improved" compile-to-JS language now, and the efforts to push a Dart VM didn't get any traction outside Google, whereas WebAssembly looks like it will be the new VM standard. Doesn't leave much for Dart.

  If this turns out like you say, it's interesting that both TypeScript and WebAssembly grew out of efforts to extend King JavaScript while not rocking the boat enough to scare away developers.

Apparently there is at least one reddit moderator that doesn't like Dart and actively bans users when they try to post legitimate articles in webdev forums: https://plus.google.com/+MontyRasmussen/posts/UWyjF5S14Uo https://plus.google.com/+MontyRasmussen/posts/UWyjF5S14Uo I'm not saying that this is general to moderators, but some people try to deny it exists or is relevant (probably because they have invested in other toolchains), and if your filter-bubble is controlled by them, you will miss out.

  Equally possible: the user was posting so many dart articles it was crowding out higher quality non dart stuff from the 'new' queue. Assuming the moderation action was due to "not liking dart" when we've nothing except the complaining of the newly-banned to substantiate it doesn't strike me as particularly fair.

  I think that's a bit conspiratoralist. If dart was popular you'd see the flag being flown in multiple places; you dont. Its not. Even the /r/dart subreddit is dead. It's not because of some conspiracy to bury dart news; people just don't care. Community is important.
