Adding a new language to the stack always adds costs, especially if it's a marginal language. In addition, the migration costs increases as you can't bring in old code. And all your effort is wasted the day you want to migrate away.
It's just so utterly pointless, Dart doesn't bring anything to the table as a language and isn't used for anything else. I have no idea what internal Google politics made Flutter go with Dart, but it would have been way better if they had used Go. I say that as a certified Go skeptic, at least that is a widely used language.
