> In your version of history Dart was always a great language... but Google was simultaneously too powerful for other vendors to allow Dart to proliferate, but also too weak to sustain it themselves despite Chrome going on to do just that for many many web standards.

"In my version of history"

It takes two seconds to find this if you weren't there when it happened. Google had a fork of Chromium with Dart VM called Dartium, it wasn't a matter of resources. Industry flipped Google off, plain and simple.

Educate yourself before making such claims, the decision to not adopt Dart wasn't because of its technical merits as a language.

The rest of your comment is just your opinion, so you do you. I'm not a Dart or Flutter devrel team to sell you their product.

I guess this is the Dunning-Kruger effect everyone talks about!

To understand just enough to regurgitate what happened, but miss why it happened... and then assume someone who's pointing at the much more relevant why is just plain wrong.

Because the why requires actually understanding of things like developer mindshare rather than regurgitating search results.

The hint I'll leave if you're willing to consider maybe you don't know everything ever... look at who's feedback is being promoted when Chrome wants to do obviously unpopular things on the web: https://github.com/webmachinelearning/prompt-api/blob/main/R...

https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1213

And model for yourself what happens if developer interest exceeds vendor refusal in magnitude, so Google just ships the thing, without a feature flag, to a massive percentage of the web-going world.
