You are completely wrong on your assumption when you are linking AngularJS's origin to Server-Side Java.
Most of concepts in AngularJS directly came from Silverlight and WPF. Before even Angular came into existence, I used to use the same pattern for building Windows/Browser centric client side apps on WPF/Silverlight. When AngularJS announced in 2009, it took me 30 minutes to get my head around everything & there has not been much changes since then.
The only thing AngularJS invented was Dependency Injection for JS.
- hippich 12y agoIf memory serve me well, WPF and Silverlight were brought around 2007-2008 by microsoft. Angular was released around 2009. Spring Framework in 2002. Misko was Sun employee and worked with Spring a lot and mentioned it a lot. I did not find any reference to silverlight and or wpf in his talks/posts so far. Next - I am not saying that idea of applying server-side mvc patterns as-is is unique, it is certainly not - your example of wpf and silverlight are good examples. Also, probably, reason why these did not stick well outside corporate environment, where decisions are made by managers and not people actually having to deal with it. If you have solid source explaining origin of angular - i will be happy to be corrected, but from everything i read so far to understand better motivation behind sometimes very questionable decisions I always find similarities between sun/java/spring.
