Dart can compile to JS, so that edge is covered. Dart bytecode is arguably an easier target for other language compilers than, say, assembly. The DartVM's byte code is fully specified, there is some adoption, it's openly accessible, and there's a bold, production-ready reference implementation. For wasm, only half of that is true.

Compiling Dart to JS is a very different problem than compiling JS or other languages to Dart.

I understand what you mean and agree. But then, you don't need to compile JS into Dart. Rather, JS into DartVM byte code.
