Google Says Angular 2 Will Support Python, Java (thenewstack.io)

An anonymous reader writes: Google will release a faster beta version of Angular 2 in about two weeks, with a smaller version targeted for April. "We're improving our ability to handle different languages," says Google's Brad Green, noting that 213 contributors are currently working on Angular. "Our plan is to have versions that will work with many server-side technologies, from Java to Python." Microsoft has already demonstrated how it's building Angular into ASP.NET and Google is also working with the Drupal team. But Green says they'll also continue supporting Angular 1 for at least another year, until a majority of users have transitioned to the new syntax. Google says there are currently 21.3 million developers using Angular 1, compared to just 300,000 using Angular 2. "We've got a ways go to," Green admitted.

    To their credit, they did the right thing in incrementing the major version number.

    1 developer for each 100,000 users. Coincidence...or aliens?

    Who uses Java anymore? I thought that stuff was virus-prone. I haven't installed Java in years.

    It's depressing that I can't know for sure if you're trolling or genuinely that stupid.

    I'm assuming this is some sort of fishing-related framework.

    You are on slashdot. Odds are he's technically illiterate but thinks he's really in the know because he "hacks on linux".
