I had a really painful time trying to contribute to the angular 2 project. I get the impression that the developers actively working on this are working with discussion mostly internal to Google. It's a shame, because it does seem like both a very powerful and nice approach to building SPAs that I would love to contribute to.

Curious: could you describe why it was difficult to contribute?

Great. It's right there in the sentence you quoted.

Great doesn't the describe the WAY it is supposed to work. I asked HOW like IN WHICH WAY.

Well, that's what happens when a powerful and controlling company gives lip service to open source.

I recommend Angular CLI for new users: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli

It is based on ember CLI and helps a lot scaffolding new projects.

Can't you just fork the project and work on your own from there?

Uh did Angular not get the memo that people hate the new syntax and typescript?

This is how you turn the most popular javascript MVC framework to nothing.

Angular size really impressive: angular2.min.js - 568K Version 1.4.* angular.min.js - 148K File size really increased (Angular1 * 4 == Angular2), if compared with first version. Something went wrong.

As pointed out in the blog post shaving off bytes is one of the priorities before 1.0 release. We've got many tricks to play here, so expect those numbers to be much lower in the final release.

It is beta still - this bundles the test utils and a bunch of other stuff that will be split off closer to RC/main release time.

Trying to find info on their packaging story. Last I heard the official tooling seemed to be moving off systemjs+jspm in favour of WebPack, but I don't see any clear info on this; does anyone know? We've started experimenting with systemjs and really like it (though support is a bit limited right now, plus it not really liking PhantomJS/karma), and we want to modernize our Angular 1.x app packaging/loading/bundling,…

We're playing with all manner of tooling here. Our CLI (broccoli based), Webpack, SystemJS / JSPM, Rollup, etc - we'll also be focusing on HTTP/2 as we move forward.

Shaving? Not enough. They need a serious regiment of diet and exercise.
