Dart: Google's alternative to JavaScript, or a needed tool to address a structured approach to web development?

Specifics topics covered include:
 
  • target audience
  • performance objectives
  • browser support for the Dart VM
  • openness of the project
  • community engagement and feedback
  • who is currently using it, and adoption within Google
  • specific language features
  • is JavaScript good enough?
  • overall state of the project
  • where does Dart fit in the stack (client-side vs server side)
