Exciting? Possibly for those involved.

I hate to say this, as I'm generally optimistic towards most developments like this, but over the last decade I've become so apathetic towards anything and everything from Google. They've lost so much mindshare and credibility. Their org structure leads to stagnation left, right and centre.

I'd rather tolerate the poor status quo in React land than take any sort of bet on Google getting something "newish" right.

It wasn't always like this.

I agree as someone who has spent the past decade working in Angular all day and then React. And I don't love React.

For people who didn't know: Wiz is apparently a internal framework that Google uses for their apps that wasn't ever open sourced (at least, not completely, based on a quick search).

At least they'll be dogfooding Angular now hopefully.

Can anyone recommend a good resource discussing the interplay between highly optimized js bundles and code caching? i.e. it seems to be me that one would benefit by serving the same js blob on most / all pages even if it includes unused code because then you pretty much always utilize the code cache.

I hate Angular with a passion. It's easily the most verbose, overly complex front end framework I've ever used which just takes the fun out of building web apps and make it a pure pain. I would rather work on a farm and shovel pig shit all day than work in Angular again.

My last job forced Angular on me, I quit after a while (not because of solely that reason) but I told them Angular was a bad choice and they chose to overrule me. Pretty funny now, they will have to endure the pain of migrating a large app which makes me feel good.

Make stupid choices, win stupid prizes.
