" summary

Claims that Google migrates about 2 million engineers off AngularJS and that Angular now has over 3 million developers; adoption relies on automation rather than docs. The team builds and ships ng update and ng add (schematics), offers ng upgrade for hybrid apps and extended LTS for legacy support, enforces a six‑month release cycle and LTS windows, and validates changes across Google’s mono-repo. Result: large migrations succeed (Air France upgrades ~0.5 billion users in a day) and most users stay on the latest major.
