Minko Gechev on the Future of Angular

The planned release of Angular 15 is on Wednesday. That is the 16th of November.

This information came at the JetBrains JavaScript Day from the newly promoted Angular product lead: Minko Gechev.

In the past, Minko had the role of DevRel, which he also keeps. As product lead, though, one of his new tasks is prioritising the roadmap. So quite a lot of influence.

At the JavaScript Days, he gave an overview of Angular's future. At the moment, a lot of new frameworks come up with huge improvements in terms of hydration. Some people in the Angular community raised concerns that Angular might fall back in that area.

According to Minko, Angular does not ignore these new developments but analyses them and integrates the best parts into the framework.

It was also interesting to hear that Google has been using the concept of "resumability" for almost ten years. In short, "resumability" serialises a closure on the server and continues its execution in the browser. Recently, the framework Qwik made that technique very popular.

ng-conf Videos

ng-conf, one of the biggest Angular conferences, finally published all the recordings for free (if you register). On their platform, you will find a talk on almost any Angular-related topic.

Very interesting are the talks from the Angular team members themselves. For example, "Angular: A Design Review 10 Years later" by Jeremy Elbourn and Alex Rickabaugh.
