The Dart team is working on a compiler called 'ddc' (Dart Dev Compiler) https://github.com/dart-lang/dev_compiler It currently targets ES6 and also comes with a more strict type checker. Project goals: * Effective static checking and error detection. * A debugging solution for all modern browsers. * Readable output. * Fast, modular compilation of Dart code. * Easy use of generated code from JavaScript.

Dart has static analysis as well. There is a server that reports errors and warnings in an IDE, and you can also run it as a batch job using the dartanalyzer command if you like. You can run dartanalyzer in a test, parse the output, and treat warnings as errors, and some people do. The question is whether the existing static analysis is enough. Some people think it isn't, and the Dart team has a couple of projects to improve on it. See the Dart Development Compiler [1] and linter [2]. The DDC project in particular plans to implement a subset of Dart that makes it easier to check types statically. This is all supposed to be integrated into the analysis engine using a plugin architecture so that these errors will show up in IDE's and anywhere else you want to display errors. It's work in progress, as are some of the other type checkers. [1]
