Yeah, but what % of frontend developers use Dart, CS or TS? Not as big as you think. And no browser supports any of them, yet, including ES6. So you always have to transpile to vanilla JS, whether you use ES6 or ClojureScript.

Don't get me wrong I think all those experiments (if I may) are nice, but if I were to develop an interface in Dart/CS/TS today, I'd have serious problems hiring people that know one of those tomorrow.

ES6 support in modern browsers is pretty okay (see: https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/).

It doesn't eliminate the need to transpile, but it looks like transpiling may not be necessary forever.
