Yeah I heard of Angular a long time ago, but then everyone started using it in the last year. What happened? Did they change something that all of the sudden made it popular?
- zghst 12y agoData binding, directives, MVC front end + the adoption of Node is what made it popular IMHO.
- tracker1 12y agoIt takes a while for concepts to actually catch on. .Net and C# for example (iirc) were started in late 1999, with .Net 1.0 released in 2001, 1.1 in 2002, but it wasn't until 2003 that people really started using it. I think Java got some use pretty quickly, because of some of its' niches. Node was a proof of concept in 2009, and only in the past two years is seeing some broader use. I think it really comes down to more developers actually embracing JavaScript and the tools that the system offers. I think the JS renaissance is upon us, and that's what has people looking to Angular, Flux/React, Meteor and other new frameworks and tooling.
