    I find it interesting how much Angular 2 seems to have been influenced by ideas from React. Being able to take advantage of libraries from the React ecosystem is very cool. It could technically be done in Angular 1, but only with a fair bit of extra work.

      Victor Savkin is to blame for that. A lot of angular 2 borrows from other companies and ecosystems. Typescript is from Microsoft, the whole anti-MVC design pattern is borrowed from React/facebook.

        Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work? People see ideas that work and then adopt them for their own projects. I’m quite pleased with the increasing consensus around the React-like model for web programming. It should make transitioning from and/or understanding multiple web frameworks easier, as they employ similar underlying mental models.

          The extensive borrowing is honestly my favorite feature of Angular 2 so far. I’ve played around with a little bit in recent alphas, and it was quite pleasant to work with.
