Lars gave a talk last year and said the intent was to put dart vm in chrome, then the whole mobile thing happen and there was no room for extra stuff in chrome. ▶ this video
And then Lars Bak left, I guess desilusioned with out things turned out for Dart, and is now doing "Dart for IoT" back in Denmark. ▶ this video
> my strong suspicion is the Chrome team killed the idea of shipping a Dart VM in Chrome Yeah in a video last year, Lars said "then the whole mobile shift happen and there was no room for extra stuff in chrome" ▶ this video
They certainly did find a new purpose for Dart outside of it being used in parts of their Ads platform, but Flutter, when is was the chrome experiment called sky, first started out using Javascript. The chrome guys decided to move on and look at several language before going with Dart, Swift may have been an option, if it was opensource at the time. Seems a reason for Dart's failure in the web space was mobile. Lar gave a talk last year about his and Kasper iot startup link he mentions why dart didn't make it into chrome, saying "then the whole mobile shift happen and there was no room for extra stuff in chrome" ▶ this video
minute 21: ▶ this video * Object-oriented * Indentation-based syntax * Clean object model * Blocks with non-local returns * No eval and no runtime reflection * Tracing garbage collection
