For what it's worth, as a long-time Java programmer I found it very easy to pick up Dart. I was porting a Java program and found I could copy and paste the Java code into my Dart app, then fix the compile errors (mostly by deleting the verbose scaffolding that Java requires). If I was scaling up a project written in Dart I would just hire strong Java programmers and expect them to get up to speed with Dart pretty quickly.
