Thanks for this link! I always thought there was something not right about Angular, and this article (and its links) clearly lay out the issue.
Obviously, I think Amber is a better solution. The one big takeaway from these anti-Angular articles, I think, is this... /IT management often make stupid choices based on fad, fashion, and laziness./ They can't be bothered to do the actual research and investigation to see which technology best fits their goals and objectives. Presumably, one of their chief objectives is to improve productivity and save on (labour) costs. How can you meet this objective without at least trying one of the premier productivity technologies on the market, namely, Smalltalk? How can you not have heard the oft-repeated claims about Smalltalk's superlative productivity over the years? They've only been made year after year since the 1980s. All that is required is to run a pilot Smalltalk program. This will definitively answer the question: How much more productive can you be in developing software?
