"These things are changing,"
There is still no end to end story for dev on Linux/Mac with MS backed tools (Mono is not .NET).
"and I think that will be the end (finally) of Java."
just day after Google will take C# as main dev lang for Android...
IMHO It's more likely that Dart will become new Android's main lang.

Actually, MS recently open-sourced the .NET framework (".NET Core") and announced they will be adding support for Linux and Mac OS X: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx
...seriously. April the first is still 5 days away.

I know that. My point is you go to dartlang.org and get the IDE with SDK with single download for Mac, Linux or Windows and use it now.
With .NET you can't do the same now on non-Windows (you can use Mono but it's not MS project) Dart is designed to do webdev and .NET isn't
Any resemblance you might find between Dart and ES6/ES7 would be because of Darts resemblance to either CoffeeScript or TypeScript, languages that did in fact influence ES6 and ES7.
My personal view: I don't think Dart is the sort of language Javascript wants to be like at all. Also, totally off topic regarding your comment of 2 years ago: Java has never kept up with C# has always been years behind and still lacks many features that C# has had for ages. The only reason people still use Java is that C# had no enterprise backing on non-Microsoft platforms and its main implementation was proprietary. These things are changing, and I think that will be the end (finally) of Java.
