It was just open sourced, if your pointing out how few stars it has. It also hasn't been officially announced. But HTML, CSS, and JS are far less niche than Rust.

Correct. This is objective.

I'm pointing the inconsistency of the argument.

If you want popularity, there is already Electron.

Yes, but unlike Dart, Go has at least modest mainstream adoption.

I had the same thought until one day I tried to use it to do some quick Dart coding, turns out it is very easy comparing to other languages, and it has sound null safety too, all syntax are pretty much the same as C, I like it and I hope its popularity will increase.

Being a nice language, is secondary to working.

I see one huge problem with Flutter. It's supported by Google. And uses Dart, which is also supported by Google. And sees very little use outside it.

Agreed; Dart seems like a dead end, let alone compared to Rust or Go.

I thought Dart was close enough to Typescript to be fairly familiar (and thus less risky than a more novel language)?
