Agreed, but the point I was making here is that Angular itself was very far from stillborn, it pushed early adoption of TypeScript really really hard which did wonders for TypeScript to be taken seriously.
Wonder why they didn’t go with the other google language Dart
Too foreign to frontend audiences? It has a lot of fans in flutter
There was AngularDart, don't know what happened to it.
Publicly it's dead, but it's alive and well and constantly getting updated inside Google.
