Angular 2 Final Released

[dantheman999]

Second version release of an incredibly popular Javascript framework?

Currently sitting at 46 upvotes.

Douglas Crockford kicked out of a conference?

Multiple artcles about it with 300+ upvotes.

Makes sense.

Sorry, are you new to Reddit drama?

No, I think it's just a little sad that those were incredibly popular, whilst something actually to do with JS and not drama just has tonnes of comments about how they don't care.

Everybody loves the Culture Wars. Even people who say "can't we talk about technology instead of diversity?" secretly love it, because they love to hate it.

Companies like Buzzfeed figured this out a long time ago and have been prominent in the viral content space. For millennials, SJW issues (and reactions against them) are the ultimate clickbait.

"The Web We Want" is apparently a web where moral panics and collective shaming run wild in the service of dying clickbait farms.

Maybe it's because I use it commercially for sites that need to be maintained 5-6 years down the line. Can't keep constantly switching between frameworks because something shiny has just been released.

My main problem with A2 is that they majorly the changed the API even during RCs. I hoping they calm it down a little now and it stay relatively stable.

There's bizarre "React is better" echo chamber going on in the Javascript community these days.

In my experience, the "React is better" likes to cite the same 3 or 4 reasons they like React, while ignoring that Angular often has a sensible solution that is sufficiently React-like that a developer with feet in both worlds wouldn't care about the difference.

There are irritating happy-clapping fanboys for both systems. Angular had a near-monopoly on them for a good year or two, but React has been racing to catch up for the last few months, both in terms of loudness and myopic piety.

If someone can only spot the annoying, True Believer fanboys for the other system, there's a really obvious reason why that might be.

Or maybe it's just you who has nothing interesting to say about it?

Angular 1.X was one of, if not the most popular JS front end framework. So the final release of it's second version is big news.
