They certainly did find a new purpose for Dart outside of it being used in parts of their Ads platform, but Flutter, when is was the chrome experiment called sky, first started out using Javascript. The chrome guys decided to move on and look at several language before going with Dart, Swift may have been an option, if it was opensource at the time.
