Yes, but if you compare Dart to ES6, ES6 is a much nicer language, so we got lucky that they failed.

Having used both a lot, I disagree that JS/ES6 is a nicer language. ES6 has a couple unique cool features, but also a decent amount of baggage from older JS.

What major features does JS/ES6 have that Dart lacks?
