“We have decided not to integrate the Dart VM into Chrome”

Dart is natively supported outside browsers. There is the standalone VM, which you can use just like Node.js, and the VM library, which you can embed in native applications.

The VM is crossplatform and it even supports ARM and MIPS.

They are also working on an interpreter which will get around the JIT restrictions on iOS and Windows Phone.

So why would I use this given there are languages which

  - are much better than Dart,
  - run in the browser and
  - run on a crossplatform VM which is much better than DartVM?

I think the obvious answer is that some people disagree with your first point. I think people should be programming in whatever language makes them happiest. For you that may not be Dart. For others, it is.

For me, it is.

Well, its semi-useless enums suck, but other than that I'm quite happy with it.
