#3Congratulations on the release! For all the talk of React and Vue I still like the 'batteries-included' approach of Angular.
I mostly do Kotlin in my day job so Angular aligns fairly nicely with the way applications are structured. I don't get the militant need for terseness that's seen in approaches like React Hooks. I also don't need the choice between multiple backwards-incompatible (or competing) routers, nor do I have a need for functionally pure reducers.
So, it may not be sexy, but It Works and that's good enough for me :)

It's a different story when your application is huge and mostly made of batteries. ;- )

#5This release is awesome, here is a summary from the Angular team blog - https://blog.angular.io/version-8-of-angular-smaller-bundles...
The main feature among many is differential loading, that will load different versions of the application depending on the capabilities of the browser.
This will avoid installing polyfills without the need for them and reduce the bundle size. There are reports of 40kb reduction in bundle size, which is a lot.
More than that, this release does a lot of preparation work for Ivy in version 9, which will bring a completely new rendering layer.
Also, there is a lot of preparatory work for the introduction of Bazel in the build pipeline, which will bring us fully incremental builds (recompiling only the part of the code that changed and nothing more).

When a typical application spends multiple megabytes just for the webfonts and logo JPGs on the front page, I don't really care whether my application bundle is 200k or 500k, though. I care more about productivity.
Now, this clearly needs SOME boundaries, but let's not start a whole "Electron" thread again :)

Apart from being verbose, why is that a bad thing? Spring is used to successfully build massive applications. You can meme about Spring's AbstractFactoryBeans all day, but in the end it does what it's supposed to do.

It feels familiar to Java developers, due to Typescript which is also statically typed (but much better IMHO) and due to the use of decorators and classes, which are an awesome way to describe a component.
Being familiar to a large base of existing developers is a huge feature.

I can’t update if a mod wants to update it for me then go ahead
