I'd be interested to know what problems Angular has with SVG. I'm currently working on a fairly large SPA and am using SVG fairly extensively, both for simple stuff like icons and for more complicated things like document annotation. I haven't run into any problems thus far.

View on HN

doing something like

    <my-svg-shape my-directive-that-mutate-svg-props />

doesnt work that well. Displaying SVG has never been a problem,they are like images. Unlike images they can be nested ,animated,modified at run time,scaled... if you think you can just create meta svg shapes with directives think again.

I'm very interested in working with SVG in the browser and have found it to work pretty well with React. I built a demo (Code: https://github.com/jonase/elements, App: http://jonase.github.io/elements/) using one of the (increasing number of) React wrappers for ClojureScript (Chrome only for the moment I'm afraid)
