Is angular 2.0 still not going to be backward compatible? Why do I see all these jobs requiring angular if it isn't!?!

Because it was hyped, and was chosen for some project on the hype alone, without anybody bothering to check what is all about and how the future with it will look like.

Off topic question from a newbie: is Angular 2.0 simpler to learn (than Angular 1.x)?

It will be possible to write Angular 2 and Angular 1 code as part of the same application.

This reminds me of a similar landing page for React Native support for Android. http://www.reactnativeandroid.com/

After working with react, IMO angular 2 is probably going to come to the game too late. If it's anywhere as complex as 1, then I see no point in using it. React takes the cake in simplicity and expressiveness. It's also a truly component oriented system.

Facebook open sources things they use in production. So i always believe they keep their words. That's the difference :)

Why do we need to see this? Won't there be a massive buzz around the release when it happens?!

Not true, I still get recruiting emails every week asking for angular experience, which means there is probably a huge group of people locked into the angular framework, and since 2.0 will be backwards compatible, I'm sure a decent amount of people will be switching their angular 1.0 apps to 2.0. It will be easier then converting a whole angular stack to React and figuring out all of the other React libraries and frameworks you need to use.

Learning all of the libraries and frameworks for React is quite complex and not less complex then learning Angular 2.0. with its backwards compatible support.
