The secrets behind Angular’s lightning speed
summary
Claims that matter: Angular forces monomorphic property access to keep V8 inline caches fast (VM shows monomorphic access can be ~100× faster than megamorphic, and V8’s inline cache capacity is four), uses compact bitfields and bloom filter per injector so dependency lookup is a few bitwise checks instead of walking every injector, and the compiler emits direct render instructions (runtime JS, not just JSX-like descriptors) so change detection touches only the exact nodes. These engineering choices are implemented in Angular and measurably speed runtime and shrink shipped bundles.
