So Angular has gone from being written in plain JS, to Dart, to Atscript, and now Typescript? Why so much jumping around? Isn't that creating a lot of technical debt issues?
- jlebrech 12y agonot really, everytime they switch they are filing for technical bankruptcy.
- Guillaume86 12y agoAtScript was pretty much just TypeScript + annotations
- lastofus 12y agoConstantly trying out the "new hotness" seems to be the norm in front end dev.
- WalterSear 12y agoDitching angular has been the new hotness for a while.
- mikeryan52 12y agoIt's a bit confusing, but basically right now there are two Angular products: AngularJS 1.x and AngularDart. These two efforts are supported by completely separate teams. Now the JS and Dart teams are merging and the new Angular 2.0 will be written in TypeScript and transcompiled down to ES6, ES5, and Dart. So while it may look like jumping around, the message seems to be consolidation.
- santialbo 12y agoThey made an Angular.js rewrite in Dart that has nothing to do with Angular 2.0. Angular 2.0 was written in ATScript which was basically Typescript with annotations. Now Typescript added annotations so there's no point in mantaining ATScript anymore.
