I'm not shitting on Dart if that's what you mean, quite the opposite, I'm just sad that Dart is not getting same amount of push from Google as Go. I'm afraid that one day Dart may end up in already impressive Google Graveyard[0]. I very much prefer Dart to Go but I'm in the minority.

Sorry, I wasn't referring to you. When Dart came out in 2012 it was a big improvement on JavaScript, but some Google exec said the goal was to replace JavaScript, which was incorrect, so that community has been down on Dart ever since. It's kind of remarkable to me how sticky this Dart hate is even 10 years later. It's unreasonable, and like you, it makes me sad because working with the DOM in Dart is even nicer than jQuery to me.
