I definitely agree that the impact of dart on ES6+ is perhaps the best reason for its existence; however, I don't think it has outlived its usefulness yet. That said, I also hope that they reevaluate their position in the world in a couple of years once Javascript has advanced down the road blazed by eg Dart and CoffeeScript. [also, Dart can just be thought of as an abstraction for the language of JS, and what problem can't be solved by just another layer of abstraction? :P ]

  > Too many layers of abstraction. :P Not necessarily! That next abstraction may enable you to simplify your implementation, carving out lower layers of abstraction cruft.
