> Another option is to completely hide elements, or even your whole application, until Angular is ready. Angular provides ng-cloak to this end.

My issue with this is that it doesn't solve the problem of binding to asynchronously-loaded resources. You have to manually implement your own ng-cloak logic, or use ng-bind, to not have {{mustaches}} waiting for data to be loaded.

Compare to Ember, where {{mustache'd}} data-bound bits aren't rendered until their bound variable is defined.

(the, other fix, of course, is to do something like `<span ng-hide="foo != undefined">{{foo}}</span>`, but that doesn't scale particularly well)
