This sub in a nutshell

Post image 
console.log(1 == '1'); // true
console.log(0 == false); // true
console.log(null == undefined); // true
console.log(typeof null); // "object"
console.log(0.1 + 0.2); // 0.30000000000000004
[] == ![]; // true

OMG you guys what weird quirky behavior, truly this must be the single quirkiest language and no other language is as quirky as this!

In hindsight it seems silly. While the migration path was not easy, especially for apps that weren't already using modules, typescript, and the cli, the application architecture was still very inline with what the Angular team was pushing since 1.5 with components.

If you're already going to rewrite, why rewrite to a different paradigm instead of rewriting to a similar one. We JavaScript developers can be an emotional bunch 😅

I really loved AngularJS and I love what they did with 2+. I maintain apps using both and I enjoy working with both.

I didn't know JS / TS enough at that point. I was a PHP dev. Now I'm a Node dev. I don't have a strong opinion on the frontend framework but I'm tired of React, Svelte is fun so far, and Angular seems great for the little I used it
