> make it a huge sell to the existing Javascript community

Perhaps Dart isn't aimed at the Javascript community. They're happy with JS.

It's more aimed at those who dislike JS, perhaps coming from traditional OO or static languages.

Dart's killer features to me?

- Tree shaking. You can add a large library, and dart2js will only spit out the code you actually use.

- Classes, type safety, and generic lists.
