What a game-changer! Yes, the title is true, this is what we saw at the ng-conf.
The ng-conf is an annual conference focused on Angular. It brings together experts, developers, and enthusiasts to discuss the latest Angular trends and practices. Highlights include talks, workshops, and panel discussions on new features, best practices, and the future of Angular. It's a key event for staying up to date in the world of web development.
In this conference, Minko Gechev and Jeremy Elbourn, both working in the Angular team, present the news that Angular will be merged with Wiz, Google's internal framework.
What is Wiz?
Wiz is a front-end internal framework made by Google, they are used in many products, one of them are Google Drive, Google Photos, Google Maps, YouTube and Gmail.
Wiz had been used for a while, but we don't know much about them because it is not open source, we know that they have the Signals of Angular and a resumability feature.
What we can expect?
We can expect a merge between Angular and Wiz, adding all the Wiz features in Angular, mainly the resumability. With this feature Angular will increase it's performance a lot.
There's not much information at the moment, that's the official news, but I want to speculate a bit...
I think that this is going to be a huge improvement for Angular, in terms of marketing and performance, Angular it's from Google but we don't know which products they used, Angular has the potential to be used in many sites and many companies can adopt it, but Google has not done the marketing for it.
Now if Google starts this merge and starts to use Angular in more sites, Angular is going to have a big impact and it's going to be more popular. In the other site with this merge maybe Angular will change a little bit its syntax or the way that we have been developing up to now, the releases may start to do slowly.
Conclusion
It's great news that Google will do this, I hope it will be the next step for Angular and the community, but we need time to have a look at it, we will wait for the next news about it, and I will attach some references about it.
