James Muehlner commented on GUACAMOLE-1085:
-------------------------------------------
It looks like LTS support for AngularJS has been [extended to December 31st,
2020|https://docs.angularjs.org/misc/version-support-status], but in any case
we are now within 1 year of the end of AngularJS.
I agree with [~manolan] that migrating to Angular would be a major undertaking,
requiring at least a partial rewrite of the entire application. It does look
like there are some tools provided to help upgrade AngularJS apps to Angular,
so this is probably the easiest/smoothest path to upgrading.
As far as alternative frameworks, I have the most experience working with
react, which I _believe_ is now eligible for use in ASF projects [after being
re-licensed under
MIT|https://engineering.fb.com/2017/09/22/web/relicensing-react-jest-flow-and-immutable-js/].
It looks like upgrading to either React or Angular would likely also require
changing the way the build works. We many need to buy at least partially into
the whole NPM/Babel/Webpack/Browserify ecosystem.
I have no experience with Vue.
I'd also be happy to work on migrating to whatever framework comes next. It
looks like Angular is probably the leading candidate at the moment.
