No Place for Dart Language...

It is interesting to see that even Google cannot make Dart - after more than 5 years - as a real challange to JavaScript . At the end Dart is "just" another insignificant programming language and compiles those codes to JavaScript . In this point Microsoft is more intelligent by doing TypeScript which is nearer to JavaScript. Check this article for comparison between Dart and TypeScript: Why did the Angular team choose TypeScript over Dart? If Google were to invest that amount of ressources for Dart in GWT (Java to JavaScript compiler), which is definitely a very good product and Java is still the number one programming language... I cannot imagine where we are today with GWT. So I would stick to Java with GWT and if I need to write directly in JavaScript I would use TypeScript. No place for Dart . Just curious, Google seems to be very clear with its target, if a product is not successful, remove it (see iGoogle, Google Wave, etc.). This could also happen to Dart?
