Re: AngularJS support is ending, and developers can migrate to Angular
#2It's strange to think I was working on AngularJS and Flash apps at the same time. Flash feels like it was a millennia ago, whilst AngularJS feels very recent. Maybe because AngularJS's successor keeps it's name fresh in my mind?

Angular is in active development and growing. Exciting big changes coming in 2022!"

#4When the deprecation was originally announced I basically just decided to sever from Angular all together. The "migration" practically involved rewriting pretty much everything anyway. The new thing is surely technically superior, but it just left me very bitter. I learned my lesson!

#5Totally correct to discontinue the old AngularJS imho.
Google, years ago, made one of the best choice adopting TypeScript for its new framework, Angular.
I used to code in both AngularJS and Angular, and the improvement between the two is huge, thanks also to TypeScript. I'm a big Angular fan, even if I tried React, I highly prefer Angular for being more strict, complete and imho more suited for very big projects.

Well, nice try I guess. Still, they do say that "Naming things" is one of the two hard problems in computer science.

I agree, I just moved us to Angular 13 and I love every second of it.
I've worked on React projects but will take Angular any day of the week.

AngularJS is a different framework. They are not the same and i think that was very clear from the start.
( I've written webapps in both AngularJS and Angular)

For those who don't know, the other two are: Cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors.

Having worked with both, react much much less, but more recently, I find react just simpler to get stuff done with. Angular has a pretty rigid structure that I felt required more files and code (even if you just use the ng CLI to code gen the initial component or service) to do the same thing.
Obviously the batteries included nature of Angular is nice. But otherwise I felt less burdened by the amount of code I need to write and read in react.
RxJS is nice though and testing via dependency injection as long as your app isnt a horrible mess and has good decoupling.
