Angular: A Design Review 10 Years Later
summary
Ten years after AngularJS the review lists concrete outcomes: 30,000+ GitHub issues closed, automatic global change detection that uses ZoneJS monkey-patches browser APIs (about 16 KB minified) leading to wasted checks, a brittle unidirectional data flow that forces lifecycle hacks for derived state, selector-based component APIs that create shared ownership of host elements, awkward RxJS boundaries where observables don’t inform change detection, and an expensive global compilation step that slows incremental builds despite benefits like TypeScript and Ivy.
