> Originally, the rewrite of AngularJS was called "Angular 2", but this led to confusion among developers. To clarify, the Team announced that separate terms should be used for each framework with "AngularJS" referring to the 1.X versions and "Angular" without the "JS" referring to versions 2 and up. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_(web_framework)#Naming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_(web_framework)#Naming Well, nice try I guess. Still, they do say that "Naming things" is one of the two hard problems in computer science.

    1 instead of zero index based languages such as e.g Julia therefore remove a LOT of cognitive overhead.

      Not using indices at all when iterating whenever possible completely eliminates the cognitive overhead.

        Yes except when it's not possible or require non-reusable custom iterators.

  Can't quite put my finger on it, but I just can't shake off the feeling that your quote from wikipedia is implying blame on the "end user" devs for the confusion, instead of the team for naming things so badly. > Those stupid developers don't realize that AngularJS and Angular2 are two completely different frameworks! Okay, I guess we need to make it now VERY CLEAR that they are different. How about AngularJS and Angular? Sounds good, right? Now it should be clear to everyone the two are different frameworks. Switched from AngularJS directly to Vue.js after the months of confusing messaging, no regrets, Vue.js is what Angular2 should have been, in my opinion.
