How long will it be before Google's Angular becomes popular, and the company decides it isn't economical to have two javascript-ish languages? My money is on Typescript.

Google has rarely shied away from having 2 (or 5, or 12) of anything: Angular vs. Polymer. GWT vs. Angular vs. Closure vs. Polymer. YouTube vs. Google Video (the latter was still a thing up through 2011, 5 years after the YouTube acquisition). ChromeOS vs. Android. Google Toolbar vs. Chrome Frame. Chrome vs. Android Browser. GTalk vs. Messenger vs. Hangouts vs. Allo vs. Duo

  Google Toolbar and Google Frame are different projects with different purposes. Same for Angular / Polymer. It seems you added them to your list just so that it would be longer.

  But a lot of those alternatives you counted have been or are about to shut down
