That doesn't seem to be the case. Dart provides great tooling and you can also step-debug your code from within the IDE. The workflow with Dartium (Chromium with embedded Dart VM) is pretty neat. The performance of the generated JavaScript is pretty good, too. There are also Dart Web Components which give you custom tags (with shadow DOM) and two-way data-binding.
Finally, Dart, with its "boring" C-like syntax, is familiar to pretty much anyone.
Sure, but those aren't the arguments the post made. The post focused primarily on the ecosystem and package management aspects, which Clojure/script certainly has.
