Dart was and stays a politics victim.

First Chrome was placing it as JavaScript replacement, which made its adoption a failure from other browser vendors, similar to what happened with PNaCL.

After the project's dimissal, it got rescued by AdWords team that had just migrated away from GWT into Dart, and surely wasn't willing to drop it on the floor.

Then Flutter kind of gave it a new purpose, and by then most of the original designers had left as they were against the new direction of strong typing, and I guess how everything was managed to start with.

They have found a place in Fuschia, yet the Android team is also quite keen in making ART run on top of Fuchsia, and it is no surprise the Jetpack Compose is Flutter in Kotlin.
