I worked in Dart for a few months and loved it, but recently had to look for something else for older browser support. I started writing code in TypeScript a few days ago and, face palm, why didn't anyone think of this sooner? Visual Studio with TypeScript and jQuery type definitions gives me most of what I need from Dart (80/20 rule). It's really fun to code with. JavaScript with types feels like a sunny day. I've been complaining a little about Dart js-interop (size and speed) and now feel my instincts were right; if Google doesn't fix js-interop, then I'm struggling right now trying to understand why I should use Dart, unless Google is more clear about a different use case for Dart on the client (Android.) If all the JavaScript 'Ninjas' discover TypeScript and have the same reaction I just did, then Dart is going to struggle on the client because it doesn't operate well in the current JavaScript eco-system like TypeScript does. Someone high up in the company and outside the Dart team needs to make a strong statement about where the Dart VM is going before the window closes.
