[Plone-conference] Food for thought on AngularJS and Plone

[JC Brand]

Hi everyone

Firstly, thanks to Netsight and everyone who had a hand in organising and hosting such a wonderful conference.

There were some earnest discussions around the usage of Javascript frameworks with Plone and about bundling certain frameworks by default.

For those who still might believe that bundling AngularJS with Plone is a good idea, here is some food for thought.

The planned 2.0 release of Angular contains big backwards-incompatible changes in syntax and the reaction online has been strident,
including this Hacker News discussion:

and this article:

Additionally, Angular 1.3 will be supported for just 18-24 months after the
release of 2.0.

Cheerio
