Dart is doing fine inside Google. It is used by extremely important projects, like, for example Adwords. These teams are very happy with it and have no intention of changing.

Brad Green already posted a follow-up post on the omission of Dart on his slides: http://angularjs.blogspot.dk/2017/04/official-languages-at-g...

Even though I work with Typescript daily, Typescript feels like a stop-gap measure until ES6 /ES.Next take hold. Dart feels like the future - given Fuchsia + Flutter + Android apps in Chrome, etc. - if they can just work out some of the rough edges(e.g. isolates with Flutter) and make it more harmonious with JS/DOM - let's face it: We are stuck with the JS/HTML/CSS stack for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for the update, good to know!
