I don’t know if this will continue to be true forever. Dart is actually an awesome language to work with generally and is only continuing to get better. I think it has HUGE potential on the server side but there is a chicken and egg problem there at the moment where there don’t appear to be any actively maintained frameworks, even some basic things like ORMs and dependency injection frameworks are few and far between still.

Just look at Go. A terribly, inexpressive language where the common solution is to write code-generators. But it has an ecosystem and the stuff people need. So people use it to write more software and more Go-libraries, reinforcing the platform-effect.
