> Is there any differentiation between the two on API stability?

Compare http://angularjs.blogspot.co.il/2014/10/ng-europe-angular-13...

> Our goal with Angular 2 is to make the best possible set of tools for building web apps not constrained by maintaining backwards compatibility with existing APIs

vs https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/15

> This is not a big-bang rewrite; we will continue development on the master branch, and roll out changes incrementally on the 1.x release train. The 2.0.0 release will simply remove features that have been deprecated between now and then. Our goal is that you can move your Ember app to 2.0 incrementally, one sprint at a time.

The AngularJS guys have since modified their plans a bit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dZdq2L8EkzimgvU93ypLF9GJ...

TL;DR: they're dedicating team members to continue working on 1.X while they build 2.0. They're also planning out a migration strategy for anyone on 1.X when 2.0 launches

Ah! Good to know, thank you!

Those are great news!

You forgot to quote the second part of the paragraph that says:

> Once we have an initial version of Angular 2, we'll start to work on a migration path for Angular 1 apps.

Not very intellectually honest of you, in addition you forgot to mention that you're an Ember contributor. Also, as have been said, this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dZdq2L8EkzimgvU93ypLF9GJ...

> in addition you forgot to mention that you're an Ember contributor.

I don't have any patches into Ember.

I believe they added in the migration path after I had read it, as that's why everyone had been so upset over the announcement.

Not much in terms of contribution to be found on Github:

He has contributed to a great deal of other open source projects though. Mostly Rust lately it seems:
