If this project gains more traction, maybe it will get more people interested in Dart. (which is essentially javascript with a standard library reimagined for the things people are using javascript for today: async APIs, stream processing, mapreduce, webapps, etc.)
Nothing wrong with Dart (other than lack luster adoption) but I'm not sure a surge in interest of people using it as a dropin backend for compile-to-javasvript targets is really going to drive the sort of developer adoption you'd really be looking for.
