I thought impetus is behind dart, not go. I don't know much about mobile. Maybe someone could elaborate?


Isn't Dart for browsers? And it looks like WebAssembly might overtake Dart there. Maybe that would work for Chrome Web Apps on Android, I haven't tried.

For native apps, I think it's still mainly Java, tho JetBrains is promoting Kotlin as an alternative.


The way I remember it dart was released to replace javascript as an actual viable sane language for apps, which means it could double as a longterm replacement for smartphone apps as well.

Mozilla resisted dart in the browser and focused heavily on improving javascript which left dart dead in the water.
