Dart (from what I've heard) is actually a form smalltalk. strongtalk[1] is also an optional typed system.

I don't see what would make "Smalltalk" a good description of Dart. It doesn't appear to be message-based, isn't built with images and doesn't appear to be pervasively object-oriented (e.g. it has a syntactic `if` rather than using messages to booleans).

I can see some Smalltalk influence in Dart, but only as much as I see in Java.
