See , that's how you manage an open source project , you listen to your community , and yes people can have relevant suggestions. Angular JS became successful because of its pragmatism but also because it allowed more than 1000 people to contribute to its core, not because it was a "Google project" . Everybody knows what other project i'm talking about.

What other project are you talking about?

Why isn't there a single domain for the angular project? From what I can see there seems to be 2 main ones: angular.io (for angular 2) and angularjs.org (for angular 1.x) as well as angulardart.org and other sites for angular material design (material.angularjs.org) and angular firebase (firebase.com/docs/web/libraries/angular/). Why not have a single site (or at least a main domain with corresponding subdomains) wit…

Part of the reason is so that they can track usage trends to see how long they should continue supporting Angular 1 after Angular 2 is released.

I know that hating angular is popular these days, but i'm still using it, and it serves me well. Looking forward to Angular 2!

Yeah, it seemed that way because there was no migration path... That is fixed though ;)

Almost everyone i know is using something in the likes of AngularJS

> In addition, searching for "angular" in Google provides no obvious distinction between the different sites.

You can try to search using DuckDuckGo as it highlights _official sites_. Really useful feature, even for quick one-time searches.

I think it's more like "syntactic" then semantic. Is syntatically valid HTML, although ng-model may not be a legal attribute name in standard HTML. On the other hand: Isn't even syntactically valid HTML. It kind of rubs me the wrong way too, although I don't know if it matters in practice, although I'm not sure it doesn't either. It does seem ugly.

I'm not sure you are correct. According to the w3 spec for HTML attributes [0], html element attribute names must consist of one or more characters other than the space characters, U+0000 NULL, """, "'", ">", "/", "=", the control characters, and any characters that are not defined by Unicode. Granted, it isn't necessarily what I'd expect to be legal, but it doesn't look illegal either. We may just need to add some l…

To emphasize what you are saying, on multiple occasions the Angular team has said that they chose this new syntax because it is valid.

Since Angular 2 was announced, I had the feeling that I picked the wrong framework for our product with Angular 1, and was feeling regrets about that choice towards my team, to have blocked them with a framework without future. Knowing that we'll be able to slowly move our app to Angular 2, one feature at a time, is certainly the best news I've had in a while.

BTW, why do I always feel like betting in a horse race when choosing a web framework/library? Hoping it'll be maintained long enough, hoping it'll not be deprecated after 6 months for the new cool kid...

We used to live in a world where Moore was the name of a law and our libraries changed every second year. Maybe we're reaching a plateau and we've found the right way to do things. Maybe the set of js libraries we know today is close to the final set, the ideal toolbox of a front-end developer. Maybe the next huge development of IT is the cloud, deep learning and Cortana, and maybe since the desktop/mobile power isn't expected to expand anymore, the will to write yet-another-heavier js framework will vanish. Maybe Angular 2 will be the way to do things in 2015.

if I'm reading this correctly, they also planning to release a react native competitor?

"Native mobile UI. We're enthusiastic about supporting the Web Platform in mobile apps. At the same time, some teams want to deliver fully native UIs on their iOS and Android mobile apps."

The dramatic shift from version 1 to 2 is generally a sign of design mistakes. Angular 1 should have been angular beta.

Browsers and JavaScript have changed quite a bit since 2009. You couldn't have created something like Angular 2 6 years ago or even 2 years ago for that matter. Angular 2 is possible today thanks to technological advancements.

I think Polymer is in Google's strategic plan and will be in much more limelight even going forward.
