I don't want to quote the exact person here since it was told to me in a discussion at a meetup a couple of months ago and may have been told in confidence, but it comes from a fairly prominent & known Google developer. For the record, I'm not against Dart - I wouldn't mind a new language being the norm that draws the good parts from JavaScript and other languages. New languages face an uphill battle though, from an adoption standpoint.

This sounds wrong, the Dart team are a team of highly talented perf-focused hackers who spend a lot of effort optimizing both Dart2JS and DartVM with advanced compiler tricks to get the most out of each platform.
