Interesting coincidence. This week I've been tasked with looking into a JavaScript framework to replace our pure-Clojure stack at work. One of the front-end candidates is Angular. But we're considering cutting it from the race. The three main things we're looking for in a front-end framework: 1. Longevity: we don't want to adopt yet another fad framework that we'll have to replace in 2017. The current trend looks to…

sails + vuejs + postgresql will be my choice.

Interesting. How will you handle dynamic front-end routing though? Or will you rely entirely on Sails for server-side routing?

having the option to precompile your framework to 20kb file size which is smaller than some libraries feels like a great feature

20kb? Really? On last week I built NG2 application(rc.4) with one component and size was over 500kb, with all dependencies which needed to run it. Maybe @angular/core weight 20kb, but in order to run real world application need add many dependencies. rxjs, zoom.js, shims, and so on..

I heard they are going to reduce final app size by doing smart analyzing of used features and getting not used stuff out of the final build. But I might be wrong.

Angular 2 is great, just look at all the features you get: WebWorker, Server-Side Rendering, mobile, progressive web application, Lazy loading support, Router, Material Components, Precompile your app. Tree-Shaking support, fast rendering, CLI, and TypeScript. The framework is backed by Google and Microsoft

You don't need all that to create SPA app. it's bloated framework.

Can you suggest an alternative?

I heard angular is a framework and react is lib. angular 2 or react. Coming from nodejs, python, php, jquery experience which should I learn?

Ignore both. Learn vue.js to get shit done.

Agreed, Vue.js and Riot.js are both brilliant for actually getting things done without having to read a 100 page manual.

As for Vue vs Riot, it's subjective, but I'm personally partial to Riot due to its simplicity (albeit with a smaller feature list) and focus on components without being opinionated at all (not even regarding the toolchain).

I have only one question - when NG2 will be released? Because now it is not possible build real applications, many libraries are not stable, and still in beta or rc... Four month I'm trying to do real application and I must say that it was my big mistake when I decided use Ng2., with every new release I always have troubles with some dependencies or with new API, and there are no many stable components which I can us…

You don't need to use all of that just because it's there and having it there is more reliable than having to cobble together your own, at least in a corporate setting. I actually find it surprising that this is a Google project, if you just gave me the code/docs and didn't tell me what project it is I would have guessed this came from Microsoft (feels much more WPF/Silverlight like than GWT/Closure, hell it even use…

Angular 2 uses Typscript which did come out of Microsoft.

32% complete - I think release will be in December ).

I wonder where the happy medium is. Setting up React/Redux/React-redux/react-router/react-redux-router/react-redux-router-thunk/webpack-hot-module-oh-my-god-what-am-i-doing takes forever.

Angular for job opportunities, react for more pleasant and forward looking web development practices.

Er.. https://github.com/angular/angular-cli 1. Open terminal 2. > npm install -g angular-cli > ng new app > ng serve 4. Use the cli tool to generate components/pipes/services/etc., build, test, develop 5. Profit. Find a more blissful and joyful experience than this in react land?

Maybe, but it will take you 3 weeks to set it up.

React is great, but it's just a lib. Angular 2 is in release candidate 4, and there are already ton of people using it. If you want a complete solution, I'd use Angular. TypeScript is awesome too. Angular comes with all the stuff you need, http, animations, routing, etc. I wouldn't cut it out just yet, seeing how it's on the horizon.

Could you share real projects(not todo-like applications) which use NG2?
