"dart2js serves me well, and the resulting JS is said to be more performant than raw JS."

But is it more performant than raw Dart?

Maybe they'll build an asm.js backend for Dart.

Unlikely. asm.js, at least in its current form, isn't a realistic compilation target for GC languages as far as I can tell.

It may be possible to compile pieces of a Dart program that don't need GC (think pure numeric computation stuff) to use asm.js and use the full JS language for the rest, but I don't know if anyone's seriously looked at doing that.
