Dart was conceived as better than Javascript, but it ended up drawing the short straw in the browser. It ended up with shit on its face, so to say. So people identify Dart with that expression.

But nothing could be further from the truth. It is a modern productivity language, like Kotlin. Anyone will be productive in a matter of a few days.

With such a low barrier, why then carry on the legacy of Javascript with its weird edge cases? So I think Google made the right call.
