Angular 4.0.0 Now Available
I&#x27;ll be that guy.<p>I&#x27;m sure the Angular team are great people, and they&#x27;re clearly talented devs... but stay away from Angular.<p>It doesn&#x27;t help with the problems you will actually face. Typed Javascript is a cargo cult. Angular just plain confusing for no apparent benefit. Dependency injection is bizarre. The distinction between modules, components, and directive is unnecessary. The Javascript community in general is moving away from OOP towards functional programming, but Angular has hitched it&#x27;s wagon to OOP. It&#x27;s reliance on the decorator pattern is maddening. It&#x27;s view layer performance is sub standard. It&#x27;s opinionated in all the wrong ways.<p>And I say this as someone with a lot of experience with Angular 1, Angular 2.<p>Trust me, go for libraries over frameworks every time. Redux, React, Immutable, Sagas, and reSelect. That&#x27;s the future of web app development.
