I honestly would bet some time ago the flutter is going to be one... And I still think Google can do that if the will resign from Dart and pick the Kotlin as the main programming language instead. Both of the languages have similar features. Both are backed by the Google, but what makes Kotlin more promising is the community that is a lot larger than the Flutter community. Every Android knows the Kotlin already, and thats a good start. Swift is similar to the Kotlin which is going also make iOS developer less resistant of learning a new programming language.

If are Kotlin and Swift very similar to Dart so Kotlin and Swift developers are not any problems to change it to Dart.
Dart is very nice language and have some nice features which Kotlin missing so resign from Dart to Kotlin would be a reduction in quality of Flutter.
And Kotlin is not developed by Google so it will be not used instead of Dart in Flutter.
