Angular is the new PHP... Queue the haters

• 100k 12y ago
  I think the idiom is "Cue the haters" but "queue the haters" does have a nice image to it. I'm imagining a long line of haters waiting patiently to dis Angular.

  Piggy-backing off of this, here's my short list of if-js-framework-were-languages: angular = php : obtuse and a little nonsensical at times, yet by far the most popular tool out there in industry. ember = ruby : highly decorative and alluring, and it's even built by refugees of rails react = haskell : esoteric, functional, and strange enough to come with its own dialect of js; it's literally the framework built for framework developers (to learn from) backbone = C++ : fast because it has so little and therefore so little to slow it down jquery = C : at some level, everything else seems to be built on this meteor = computer language when portrayed on a Hollywood movie : you know, like in the first Wolverine Xmen movie, whatever language that they used to program Ryan Reynolds with that allows the user to just type in something like "Kill him" into the terminal and Ryan Reynolds then attempts to kill wolverine (sorry spoilers). I don't know if there are any commands other than "kill him", but it handles the "kill him" command with incredible automagic.

    I would actually put jQuery = PHP because more people hate jQuery the way they hate PHP

    jQuery = C seems a bit odd. AFAIK none of those other frameworks are built off jQuery, though Angular supports working with it. Many are actually hard to integrate with jQuery.
