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?

This:

  git clone https://github.com/Day8/re-frame-template
  lein new re-frame 
  lein figwheel
Program with a great functional language (Clojure) and watch magic happen when Figwheel dynamically reloads all of your changes in your browser...

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.

Take a look at Feathers js, so much better than Sails

Sounds like Aurelia might be a nice match. Much less boilerplate

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…

I've been working on an enterprise app with Angular 2 for over a month now and it's been mostly ok. I think the only horrible problem was the change in the form framework that went largely undocumented (super secret doc: https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1RIezQqE4aEhBRmArIAS1...)

Once you get to forms 0.2.0 and rc4 of everything else; the framework is beautiful and even though I hated Angular 1.x with a passion, Angular 2 is awesome.

What about new router? And yes NG2 much better than NG1, I agree with you.

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

Can you suggest an alternative?

vue.js

https://vuejs.org/

Edit: I used NG1 a lot and liked it. But after trying NG2 I felt it to be really too complex for small to medium projects. Vue.js is what I hoped NG2 to become.

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.

Even if you don't need it for a one app you might get a need for the another app and it's fine that all that stuff is coming as an entire framework from the one team, which means that all listed features will work smoothly being put in a single app. So no need to find and integrate scattered over the interned 3-rd party libraries. I agree that Angular is more for the large (you can say enterprise) projects.

> Longevity: we don't want to adopt yet another fad framework that we'll have to replace in 2017. No such thing. They're all pretty much fad frameworks.

Looking back, though, I might have said the same thing about Rails or Sinatra or Laravel, but they stood the test of time, and people still use them. A lot of what gives a framework longevity is just whether or not big players adopt them and developers love them, these two factors will go a long way in ensuring a framework continues to get upgrades and continuous maintenance. At least longer than Backbone, anyway.

So Angular is the COBOL of Javascript frameworks?

Actually, I think it's probably more comparable to some kind of Java FactoryProviderServiceFactory thing.
