Google tried to do that with Dart, and failed. In fairness Dart 1 was much worse than Dart 2... So maybe that was a good thing because there's no way they'd have been able to improve Dart as much as they have if it was part of the web.

For dates there finally is something better anyway: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Temporal

Dart is fucking amazing and it compiles to native code, transpiles to JS (with some restrictions on concurrency because of web workers) and also supports WASM.

Really if you want to write async and stream based code Dart is very good
