I am not saying Dart and CoffeeScript are comparable in terms of features -- not at all, rather I am saying that both Dart and CoffeeScript have served similar purposes in showing where the JavaScript language can evolve towards in the future.

On the other hand, persuing the strategy that Google did with Dart distracted people and effort from the important task of actually improving javascript, so it may well have been a net negative.

If they'd succeeded in replacing it, there would have been no need to fix it. It's a big task, but I wish they'd succeeded and hope they (and/or others) try again.
Whether you like JS or don't, I think we can all agree that it stinks to have only one choice for client-side scripting.
