If Angular wasn't endorsed by Google would it be as popular as it is?

  After working for some time on angular project, I got a conspiracy theory: Google bought this company and threw angularjs to masses so they get all excited and spin wheels reimplementing stuff already done elsewhere, while Google will keep building products :) I am joking of course, but each joke always have part of truth in it..

    Minus the fact that AngularJS was developed as a Google internal project / by a Googler / for a Google service (their support / help pages iirc), after they struggled for months building it.

      from looking on angular internal code, i still feel they struggle with it :)

  It got attention before it was associated with Google. It was created by a googler, but it wasn't a Google project from the beginning.
