I liked its syntax when I first looked at it back in Feb 2014 (we ran a Dart Flight School event meetup.com/nyc-gdg/events/155911782) - the only reason I didn't pursue it further was that frankly there weren't enough projects that required the expertise.

However I am interested in revisiting it now because of Flutter - in particular I find I can learn/use something best if I have real world projects/deadlines to work with, and I didn't have one for Dart in 2014 but I can see a few possibilities in 2018 so hope to spelunk more there too.

That said, I don't think JavaScript will ever go away. It will just evolve to slowly shed the bad parts and embrace new requirements/capabilities that occur with such fast ecosystem changes.
