Has Dart taken off? I think most people recoiled in horror when they saw the early-days "hello world" turn into millions of lines of generated code.

Only inside Google on the Ad Words team that kind of rescued Dart after the Chrome team stop caring about Dartium.

Now the Flutter project is Dart's last hope to keep it relevant outside Google.

It remains to be seen how serious Google is about Flutter, as the Android team only gives political correct answers when inquired about Flutter vs Android.

Not that I'm aware of, no. I don't know, but it seems to me like WebAssembly is more promising for conveniently bringing all programming languages to web applications, rather than languages like Elm or Dart whose standard implementations compile to JavaScript and are designed only to program web applications.

Dart is not designed only to program web apps

you can target mobile with Flutter, and also command-line etc.
