ADDENDUM: The original title on HN was "Angular is Rotten to the Core". My defense was about the "core" aspect... since the core was, in my opinion, a noble attempt at making the web a better place.
(Additionally, I feel like if you're going to criticize Angular for being by Google, you can't really be recommending React. Also, not the point, but I think the “No One Got Fired For Picking Google” subheader is a weird take on the original IBM version of the quote.)
- WorldMaker 5y agoIn this case the phrase "to the Core" is much more directly aimed at from Angular's core outward in that Angular literally has a key library named `@angular/core` and that my technical complaints originate there and I do try to draw the line from those decisions made in `@angular/core` and the ripple effect they have on other major libraries and the ecosystem as whole. That the phrase "to the Core" serves as double entendre here questioning their intent/philosophy behind the existence of the framework was certainly intended to be clickbait, but I thought it clickbait that HN would appreciate because it is technically correct (and as we all know that is the best kind of correct). I appreciate that it was not well received by some and I may have been too clever with it.
