Will Dart take off?

The question is: Will Dart take off, or will it remain unnoticed and js will always reign on the web? Or will people learn how to somehow combine dart and js frameworks, which in turn will give more profit.

No, JS will dominate for a very long time, if not always)

The main problem with Dart is that it was designed as a replacement for JS and had to run in its own VM. To date, there are no stable browsers (Dartium does not count) natively supporting DartVM, and I highly doubt that this can even happen. So Dart is just another language that compiles to JS (with all the problems that come with it).
So it's more likely that JavaScript will reach the level of Dart than that Dart will replace JS.

It will take off, of course.

It's hard to say for sure.
The technology should be sponsored/invested by major players in the market, provided that it will give them a profit in the future. And the fact that Dart created Google does not yet mean its strength, since the good company can renounce it at any time (recent experience can serve as an example).

Well... as if no one forbids you to use Dart with existing JS frameworks. It's just not very convenient. Again, there is a port of the same Angular to Dart.
Dart has its own mega-cool features, but since all sorts of mozillas and others refused to implement Dart support in their browsers, this case will not be widely used, unfortunately.

How long have they been drinking it? Apparently the train had already left.

Dart and JS may well compete instead on the same platform, no one is fighting to the death, no one is replacing anyone, no one is forcing anyone to drop everything and run to Dart.
Now it is quite possible to develop programs on Dart, which is what I do at work.

If you, dear ones, continue to deify Angularjs, then Dart will gobble up Javascript in the near future :)

As attentive readers may notice, it's been three years since this question was created, and Dart still hasn't taken off. If you go to the Gitter chat of the Dart community, it is noticeable that there is no special life there, in the Russian Slack channel, in principle, too. Until Google marketers treat Dart ads as Go ads, nothing will happen.
