  Eh, with Google's backing, I'd say it has reached liftoff. So far these feel like articles to attract page clicks... The substance has been seriously lacking.

    Lately few haven't been worth reading but it's nice seeing the language get recognition, hopefully there will be more job postings calling for Kotlin

      Dart really deflated after it was announced it wouldn't get native support in browsers (next to JS), and energy was instead diverted to WebAssembly. It might still get a revival some years down the road with Fucsia, but we're a long way away from that - plus it would still have an Android compatibility layer I'm sure.

      Dart is still better lang than JS and AngualarDart offers much better dev experience compared to React and Angular + TS (I tried all of them). Big Google apps (Ads UI) are written in Dart. Try it out and make your own opinion https://webdev.dartlang.org/angular/ https://webdev.dartlang.org/angular/ New life will come to Dart when fast Dart to JS compiler (so called DDC) will be released.
