You're right that for a good reason not everything is JS, but when you don't need all of those fancy app features, I would always vote for hybrid apps where I can let my web team work on a mobile (web-like) app and even more if we also have a website.
if you talk about mobile dev then Flutter is a serious player ... but it's definitely not "web", that's why it's not a "thing" in the web community.
Would you say Dart is or could be a thing for the web? I've never heard of it outside of Flutter in the past. If I remember correctly, 10yrs ago there shall be types in JS so among others Dart and TS started their missions. According to a survey the Dart community really loves it, but not so many are working with it.
I also don't see a problem when Dart comes in, but I think it's not about "can you write or learn Dart?", but "do you have enough experience to kick off a Flutter app?" so you also don't have to rewrite it after one year.
Jumping back to Ionic: your pool of developers making projects with Angular, React, Vue and so on is very huge.
The question is what you have and what you want :).
Dart itself is niche, I don't know if anyone really uses that, lol ... Flutter is really THE killer app for Dart, don't shoot me but outside of Flutter I don't think anyone takes Dart seriously ;)
And oh yes, I think in many (most?) cases a hybrid app/PWA just hits the sweet spot, native is required only or a minority of use cases I would say ...
Why does it make you nervous? It was just designed or "invented" that way (by Google, if I'm not mistaken) ... they wanted a type-safe, compiled language, which Javascript isn't (Typescript is still a "kludge" lol even though a beautiful one).

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Great :). At least you've got me to check out Flutter again and maybe read my article about "good bye Ionic, hello Flutter" then :D.
But why the hell seems Dart to be the best language for Flutter? That really makes me nervous :D.
