if not, Dart is becoming more like Kotlin. nullable types and extension functions have been announced. (not as ready but as under construction)
d
where was it announced btw?

It might come the other way around (Fuchsia supporting Kotlin), or sideways (Dart becoming Kotlin compatible). Also, it's likely that Kotlin/Native becomes supported on Fuchsia, but probably later down the road, possibly with Google's investment. That's my take.

I don't think Dart will become Kotlin compatible, it has never been designed with Java/Kotlin compat in mind.

I don’t think so either, but it sure picks up some of Kotlin’s features. I hope it doesn’t pick lambdas with receivers though. I feel like that’d be the sign that Dart has lost its identity. (e.g. it already has it’s idiomatic ways for doing what Kotlin tackles with let, apply, …)
