> Dart now always compiles to JavaScript Client-side Dart code, yes. But that's something you had to do for compatibility reasons anyways. Also, don't forget that Dart also exists outside of browsers. It's a fast scripting language with excellent tooling. I use it for almost everything nowadays. They are also working on a second JIT-free VM (Fletch) for iOS and similar locked-down environments. It's small, highly concurrent, pretty fast, and it supports atomic code updates via some wire protocol. So, Dart doesn't just compete with TypeScript on the browser side, it also completes with languages like Ruby, Python, and PHP on the server side and even with compact embedding-friendly languages like Lua. Dart's future looks bright, but it's definitely a lot less browser-centric than initially anticipated.
