I used Dart a while ago for a personal project. Language-wise, it has dramatically improved by 'await'. My favorite part about Dart is the standard library. I've never used a language with a better standard library.

Does anyone know how Dart will be affected by web assembly?

WebAssembly right now is a suitable target only for C++ like languages. There is a hope that in the future WebAssembly will introduce features enabling efficient compilation of dynamic languages, but so far it's unclear when this hope is going to materialize into something more tangible than a few entries on the road map.

I found myself wishing that it would take more from Scala's example, especially the collections, where they could certainly use some more utility. I also wish they'd do more to support a more functional style of programming; little things like, say, turning `if` into an expression, which, while I don't think it would affect existing code at all (the result would just be thrown away), would allow you to assign to a constant value, avoiding undefineds altogether.
