Evolving Angular for the Long Run
summary
Angular recounts 31,293 changes since its early days and argues for incremental, evidence-driven evolution: Ivy refactor took three years, control flow templates were redesigned after an RFC, a 14‑participant coding study and thousands in the annual survey preferred the new @ syntax, and ngIf/ngFor moved into built‑in template syntax for better performance. Signals and Zone JS are phased via experimental and developer preview stages, Google Fonts validates migrations in production, and automated refactor tools handle roughly 80–90% of mechanical updates.
