@Tony - Totally agree. The "innovation" on the web came from frameworks and people who worked around all the ugly stuff. And I'm old enough that I have seen lots of innovation ;)
Host with dumb terminals. (ugly stuff on clients) Rich clients (PCs) with almost no host. (maintenance horror) Back to a host with dumb clients (WWW with ugly static pages). Back to the client again (Java applets) with all of its horrors (bandwidth too low, compatibility problems). Change to rich clients with HTML5, CSS3 and lots of JavaScript (which is almost as old and ugly as BASIC, if someone is old enough to remember *lol*) >From the permanent upsizing and downsizing they came to "rightsizing" (in other words: most don't know what they are doing, how much to do on the client or on the server). And with HTML5, CSS3 the only ugly thing that remains was Java. No problem with CoffeeScript. And some newer changes that most of you already know :D I would not want to miss what's happened since I started, and I like changes, they keep you busy and it's always fun to do something new :D As said: it is the way how you react to them. Some changes can be done smoother. And if they don't want it smooth clear statements should be made early enough. Angular 2.0 is not Angular 2.0 but SomethingDifferentJS 1.0 Btw: http://onstartups.com/tabid/3339/bid/2596/Why-You-Should-Almost-Never-Rewrite-Your-Software.aspx or http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html - nice articles about that topic :D Netscape, Borland, ... - let's say that 2.0 takes longer as it should. 2 years give existing frameworks a LOT of time to improve. Architects won't choose a depricated old and abondoned framework in that time. After that you have a startup-framework with all it's problems (no user base, no components, no tutorials, ...), so many would not choose Angular because of this reasons. After that, imagine that the Web changes in the meantime. What then? Angular 3.0? So nobody will know how many months the new framework will live? I don't think the strategy is the best. But let's wait some years and we will see :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
