Dart is interesting but a little too Jave-ery in both syntax and tools - Dart Editor is Eclipse based. Also, not sure how committed Google is long-term.

Google's issue is too many languages and runtimes: Go, JS/ES6/V8, Dart/DartVM, Java/ART, PaNcl, RenderScript.

With the Material/Paper UI Google have given dev's a consistent, elegant unified surface. But Google should also be moving in the direction of an (elegant) unification under the hood. Java and JS are 20 years old - but are at the core of Google's platforms - Android and Chrome/OS. But what - Kotlin, Dart, ES6/7?
