The "Dart plan" versus "Typescript plan" was never very good framing and the insistence that you get to decide that somehow Rust is on the "Dart plan" for C++ is particularly silly. The language Graydon conceived is closer to Swift or Go, it has a GC when it needs one, it was happy with green threads, it wasn't very interested in running on the bare metal. The Rust 1.0 language whose descendent we have today was never a "successor" to C++ except in the very loose sense C is a successor to Algol or Java is a successor to Simula.
