I bet we&#x27;ll be seeing a lot more of Typescript in the next few years, seeing as it&#x27;s the default language that is suggested in Angular 2&#x27;s documentation. I find it odd that Dart wasn&#x27;t the default language of choice for Angular 2 (although it is fully supported) seeing as Google is behind both projects. I think it really boils down to what the author wrote here: &quot;Dart is not JavaScript. TypeScript is.&quot; At the end of the day more people are going to want to use what they are already more familiar with, and it&#x27;s really not necessary to throw out years and years of progress we have made on JS.
