Ask HN: Need help to choose the front end technology for my startup

Need help to make an informed decision to choose the frontend technology for my startup. It is a recruitment application powered by machine learning. Currently, I am focusing on the development of the prototypes. It will help me to validate the product in coming weeks. After that, I will focus on delivering the MVP in the next 3-6 months. Little bit about my background, I have been a java engineer all my life and the sole founder of this company. For I have decided to build a Java based REST services and Postgres as the database. For the frontend platform, I am evaluating between Angular 2 and ReactJS. But still, have many unanswered questions around both the framework.

Angular 2: Pros: - Easy to pick up because of my java background, - I know Angular 1.5 little bit. Learned it by debugging issues in the previous projects. - TypeScript's syntax looks very familiar.

Cons: - Unstable (beta). - Material Design 2 is also in beta. - It does not fully support many components. - Not many developers have adopted it.

ReactJS: Pros: - Stable. - Large and very active community.

Cons: - Pure Javascript, which will be a big shift for me. - Not sure if all the great features of React are applicable for my app.

One of the biggest factor to consider that I will be hiring freelancers to do the frontend work. It is very important for me to choose a framework so that I can find good freelancers without spending a fortune.

I am also open to any other technology which fulfills these requirements.
