Yeah, but I am quiet sure at least 12 new frontend frameworks were pushed to Github in the last 24 hours, plus 143+ NPM packages probably broke with the last Babel update

Vue? Yarn? Angular 2?

  Angular 2 has been around since 2015.

    According to wikipedia, the final version of Angular 2 was released on September 14, 2016. It required a complete rewrite and was not backward compatible with Angular 1. The current release of Angular seems to be version 7.

Almost half of my job is just updating these JS libraries because they reinvent everything or get replaced by other libraries constantly.
