I assume Google will try to replace Java with Dart, because they have recently been focused on Flutter [1] [2] and Fuschia [2] development which are (mostly) C++ and DartLang stack.

I would have expected this, but not after pushing Kotlin. Kotlin is shiny enough to temporarily distract the typical developer from the daily struggles with the abysmal Android API.
Kotlin and Java it will be for the next 10 years, for better or worse.
Dart is not very popular within Google itself, and Fuchsia is nothing more than a paid hobby project[0].

I was under the impression that pretty much all the frontend work at google was compiled from Dart.
It's also used for Google's internal CRM (Greentea), and Google Fiber.
