I think Angular is just the latest in their web dev portofolio, driven by internal needs. They have Closure, which is basically their own jQuery + package/module/dependency loader & framework. Then there's Dart, which is kind of their version of CoffeeScript/TypeScript/etc. (and even looks strikingly like Angular at times[1]). There are definitely overlapping concerns, but they've dogfooded Angular for both the YouTube TV[1] portal as well as their DoubleClick site, and so I don't think it's just for external purposes. 1. https://www.dartlang.org/polymer-dart/ https://www.dartlang.org/polymer-dart/

> Then there's Dart, which is kind of their version of CoffeeScript/TypeScript/etc. From my point of view, it's just the next logical step after GWT and Closure. The annotations are baked into the language's syntax, you get the usual JS-like development cycle (save -> F5), and Java/C#-like tooling. TS is somewhat similar. CS, however, isn't. CS doesn't offer any tooling advantages over JS. > looks strikingly like Angular at times Heh. There is also a Dart version of Angular: https://github.com/angular/angular.dart https://github.com/angular/angular.dart
