Dart was born "for the wrong reasons" AKA replacing Javascript, it failed at it. The language itself is quite good, better than Go IMHO, but Go has the advantage of not requiring a separate virtual machine. The problem with languages is whether they get enough momentum so that a community can be built around them. A language without an extensive ecosystem is nothing. Also since Go is "hypocritically Object Oriented", people can claim it's not an object oriented language and kind of write Go like classic structured programming such as C. But Go is OO. You can't write go without using interfaces for I/O. |

You can and people do that all the time. You don't have to use its standard library I/O APIs, even its syscall package.
I'm not disagreeing that Go is OO though. Its ecosystem is dominated by OO. But it's more like Perl in this regard, where you can spend years without writing a single line of OO code yourself even if you have to use other people's OO code.
