How many Angular folks are sticking with native ES6 and babel vs TypeScript? Angular is clearly directing folks to TypeScript. I don't want to have to use TypeScript on front-end and ES6 + Babel in Node. Trying to pick one.

With Ionic 2, we're giving people Babel + ES6+ for our starter projects, with the option to enable typescript. I agree with you that typescript should "enhance" an app, but not dictate it from the start. We're giving people the option and will see how that goes.

Anyone have an upgrade plan for 1.x?

I work on a rather large Angular 1.4 codebase daily and while this is good news, I'm not sure how we'd ever upgrade to be honest.

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.

I know typescript isn't required, I'm not sure about the new syntax tho.

If only typescript was written by facebook or google then people wouldn't hate it.

I really love the new component creation syntax(API) and Typescript gradual typing is super useful. I can see Angular 2 being use even more than Angular 1 in the near future...

That's Google for you, having to present your exciting MVW toolkit on the crash accident of a website that is Blogspot. Right now, there is a massive cookie consent form blocking my view of the actual article.

is that a european thing?

As a European, we prefer it described as a 'poorly conceived and universally despised European law thing'

Seems like you don't understand the difference between MVVM and MVC. Also everyone I've encountered that has used typescript loves it.

People hate typescript? I think the opposite. Typescript gets more and more traction.

You also don't need to use typescript with angular 2.

I'm using TypeScript with NodeJS. It gave me enormous power. I stopped writing half of my tests and I hardly see runtime errors anymore.

TypeScript is doing really good.

Google has wanted to turn JS into a static language for ages. Now they have enough fanboys to help make real progress in that direction.
