Is Angularjs future-proof? [closed]


Nothing is future proof, if one were to look far enough into the future (with the possible exception of COBOL which we'll never be fully rid of). Nothing was futureproof before it was. Around 1997, when I first started learning PHP (then called FI), who would have thought that it would have become a platform for Facebook?

Big players that adopt a framework is what makes it future-resistant. By their sheer mass and scope, they support and push a framework into sustainable maintenance and feature development.

Having a large pool of small players using the framework is what makes big players consider the option (or having a small player explode in size). It seems to me that this is where Angular is right now.

So, do you bet your career on a technology at this level? That's a personal choice.

Some questions I ask myself when choosing a new tech are:

  • Will it solve problems for you, and make you a superstar in your organization?
  • Will you be able to find and/or train folks, when your mounting success requires you to staff up?
  • Is your project and/or company currently small enough to fly under the radar of"standards compliance"?
