This is a very clear and perfectly acceptable Raison d'être. It is unsurprising that Dart is by and for the same sort of people that gave us and use(d) GWT. I say godbless and godspeed, but it is very much against the grain of the web and personally I find Typescript, EC6, and projects like Angular and possibly Meteor more exciting by far. To each his own, this does fill a need. The conspiracy aficionados Dart attracts however sure are unfortunate.
