Yes, one of the long term goals of the language is standardization. The project is open source, we have external committers, and we've taken numerous patches. Pull Requests welcome!

The main chance I see for the language getting adoption is to start from the server side, if Google could sponsor a full featured web framework in the language with async capabilities, talking to major DBs, and other batteries. Basically a Dart Rails or Django (maybe a little scaled back in the beginning).
Sure, you can let the community create several competing frameworks, like this one. But nothing will get traction like a Google-backed, with 1-2 full time employees behind it, nice documentation et al.
