Dart was originally meant to be a superior alternative to JavaScript. They originally wanted native Dart support in the browser (dartium) just like there is native JavaScript support. Kotlin was/is meant to be a superior alternative to Java. Java != JavaScript Flutter I'd say is more like a successor to Flash. Dart is now relegated primarily to being Flutter's ActionScript.
