I feel Svelte is the framework that Angular author actually wanted to build since the first version.

#22I was recently at a Microsoft heavy tech conference and spoke to at least 50 .Net developers. Anyone who also did front end did so in Angular. I was surprised at how popular it is!
In my experience (as a conference speaker) the people who recommend .NET and sell .NET consulting are often the same people who recommend Angular and do Angular consulting.
Both have a relatively high entry barrier compared to their alternatives (though lower than a few years ago).

Front-end development is inherently chaotic right now, doesn't matter the framework. Things will get better.... I'm intrigued by Svelte.
Front-end development is really great right now, because of React, which makes it so you can develop in one language, but unlike past attempts like GWT [1], doesn't rely on leaky abstractions. 1: http://www.gwtproject.org/overview.html
JSX is a different language

Funnily enough, Ivy takes a pretty similar approach to Svelte with its markDirty calls similar to Svelte's $$invalidate calls.
That said, Angular doesn't utilize its compiler the same way Svelte does (yet) so time will tell.

That doesn't really surprise me as Angular uses TypeScript.

#27Angular feels like frontend framework built by backend java Spring developers, that hate frontend development.
Honestly have you ever built anything of substance w/ it? It’s an awesome framework. You really should give it a try.
Re: Angular v8.0
#28This 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 bu…
Differential serving can easily be done using babel and webpack. Been doing it for awhile now.

JavaScript with JSX is a single language. The tags are a syntax extension. JSX is a very non-leaky abstraction. The tags are just function calls. https://reactjs.org/docs/introducing-jsx.html#jsx-represents...

#30I wonder what's the story behind delays of Ivy? Can somebody elaborate? It was first scheduled for v6 (don't remember , then for v7, now there is v8 and it's again rescheduled for v9.
