I wouldn't say Dart is a failure at all.
That being said, the Dart project has long abandoned the goal of replacing JavaScript in the browser, and instead provides a VM, Flutter, and a to-JS compiler.
Many people do not know this, and have written the language off entirely. Hence a lot of the negative reaction to Flutter.
(Though, if I'm quite honest, this is a bit off-topic from the OP)
- hajile 8y agoDon't forget that dart now has an AOT compiler and is strongly typed. It is close to Java in performance in a lot of stuff (faster in some). Syntactically, Swift is almost identical (dart being older) aside from GC vs ref counting. I think it has more of a future in the Java managed language area (but with better typing, better syntax, and first class functions with closures)
