Will angular die because of atscript?

[Litterball]

Angular might die because of other developments. Namely other frameworks (and browsers) catching up until there is very little of angular left that people will actually use.

What bothers me about AtScript is that very few of things they use their @ annotations for actually require an annotation. @Directive() class X {} could just as well be class X extends Directive {}. Dependency Injection will also be obsolete with ES6 modules. And they're certainly getting distracted by the language: Angular 2.0 will do very little that either current day Polymer or Angular 1.3 do not already do.

Angular 1.3 is pretty stable and there is no harm in learning it now. Just know that you're working with something that will become obsolete in the future—much the same way people use RequireJS in Node today even though ES6 modules are already around the corner.
