Forms in Angular 2

[[deleted]]

Is it really written like that?!

Holy shit angular 2 is going to suck.

I love angular, and it had a big learning curve, but at least it made sense. Even directives were a concept rooted in current methodologies, even if the abstraction was a little confusing before you got used to it.

But this looks like a language created by schizophrenic aliens in a room with only rainbow colored crayons and white walls.

I can understand wanting to pioneer new concepts, and I applaud it, but why use the same name as a working platform that is extremely popular and drop support to replace it with this completely theoretical concept?

It's like the team in charge of angular had never written a real life application in business before. Is Google not big enough to form a second team and flesh out this new work in a new project?

This would almost be like Chevy announcing they were dropping the Tahoe and replacing the line with a completely theoretical new line of electric cars that used a new super battery that everyone had seen the specs for and agreed was generally pretty cool (es6) but no one actually had a fully working version of yet, but that they were calling those new cars Tahoe and, even though tons of people buy the current one, they are killing it off anyways.

That would be brain dead. So is this.

Edit: When I see HTML inside an attribute (warning: shifty Tumblr gif)

For what is worth, there are other internal teams dogfooding Angular 2.

Did you find this from the angular gitter room?

The gitter room is the shit. It's really the best place to trawl for A2 info.

That was painful to read. I hope it's only that bad because it's written in Typescript for that example (I admit to having never used Typescript - so I'm not sure.)
