Unless all major browsers support it, the adoption will be painful and slow.

It also seems like another incarnation of GWT, which, I heard, google abandoned.

From the article:

"Dart code can be executed in two different ways: either on a native virtual machine or on top of a JavaScript engine by using a compiler that translates Dart code to JavaScript. This means you can write a web application in Dart and have it compiled and run on any modern browser."

What am I missing?

And it's not like they abandoned Gears because no one was using it, but instead because Gears was so successful that many of the features got (sort of) rolled into HTML 5.
