    Ugh. Thanks for the kind words :)

    Angular core team here - unfortunately, this post ignores Angular 2+ entirely (its @angular/core on npm) - the numbers are only for AngularJS (1.x). We’ve reached out to the NPM te…

    I did the Mars demo at a conference a while back - the first couple of minutes I was underwhelmed, but at some point, my brain "bought-in" - I noticed this when I crouched down to …

    Note this chart is actually showing AngularJS (1.x) only. NPM only started exposing stats for @scoped packages recently, so @angular/core (Angular 2+) only has a few months of hist…

    You'll be pleased to know that we're making Zones optional pretty soon here. This would mean taking control of change detection yourself, of course, but there's plenty of valid use…

    FWIW, Angular's release cycle is roughly based on the same cadence as React :)

    Angular core team here, we're restructuring some of our docs at the moment and this is super useful feedback. Thanks!

    It's unlikely we'll ever have developers write Custom Elements directly - that said, the View Engine rewrite we just did gives us the ability to (theoretically) have our compiler o…

    This is what the AngularJS versioning scheme was, nearly exactly. Everybody hated it. Hence, semver :)

    1) the core of Angular Universal "graduated" into @angular/platform-server with 4.0 - previously it was a more experimental project. We're officially supporting a "renderToString()…

    absolutely. we're 100% invested in Rx, and more than anything else I'd like to see the Observable type standardized.

    You can already use most simple web components in Angular without issues - as far as Angular is concerned, it's just another DOM element. We also support native (or emulated) Shado…

    This is good to know, cheers!

    The first two are pretty well covered by our friends at Ionic and NativeScript. The last one, well, that's a bit more complicated. Let's just say that sort of thing is on the radar…

    New release of CLI is running final checks in CI. Should release momentarily! Edit: it's released! npm install @angular/cli

    We've got some really cool ideas to make Rx really first class in Angular. It's already pretty deeply integrated, but with a little work, it'll be awesome.

    you'll find that generally, we refer to it as "Angular" or "Angular 4.0" - officially, AngularJS is 1.x. We'll see how it shakes out, but so far our community has been pretty aweso…

    Most developers should be able to simply update their dependencies and rebuild. A few APIs have been deprecated, but they continue to exist and can be removed at a developer's leis…

    That's discussed in the doc (and there's some metrics). Update speed takes a (minimal) performance hit, in exchange for code size reductions. We (and our colleagues at Google worki…

    Major release every 6 months, 2 major version deprecation policy. There was definitely some initial pushback, but we hope to demonstrate with this release that it's a) not that sca…

    Angular core team here, we're pretty excited about this release. Main change, as noted, is the new View Engine. The design doc[0] is worth a read if you're interested in front-end …
