Elm, Purescript, and Dart all have their own packages managers, elm-package, pursuit, and pub, respectively. While that's fine, it also forgoes npm, which is the largest ecosystem of any language, and I think that's a critical mistake. Unless you have the infrastructure or niche use cases to justify those languages, or the time to implement your own libraries for the problems you might encounter.

To me, it comes off as hubris—in an attempt to guard their ecosystems, they skip out on compatibility with Javascript, which has evolved to be a great language with ES6+. Coffeescript had a lot of good ideas, and some like => syntax found their way into JS proper, and its syntax certainly wasn't enough ot sink it—it was its arrogant, casual detachment from the world of Javascript.
