Opening Keynote: The State of Angular
summary
Angular ships a new reactivity stack centered on signals with concrete APIs: signal queries, signal inputs, model inputs and an output() that no longer depends on RxJS; Chrome-level wins include YouTube seeing ~35% better input latency on Smart TVs and 60fps scrolling on mobile. Zone JS becomes optional with experimental change detection in v18 enabled via provideExperimentalChangeDetection, a long-term plan to make RxJS optional is underway, and practical features like defer views, a community‑chosen new control flow syntax (12,000 survey responses) and work on partial hydration deliver measurable LCP and bundle-size wins.
