Dart runs on top of JS? I thought it was a replacement for JS.

The primary mechanism for running Dart on the client is by compilation to JS. There is a DartVM that runs Dart directly, but its not bundled into any browsers except for a special version of Chromium ("Dartium") bundled with the Dart SDK so that the development cycle can proceed without a dart2js run at each iteration, but its not intended for general use that way.
