In remembrance of my first love.
Your LTS finally came to an end. You retired on 31st December 2021. You will always have a special place in my heart.
You arrived with great anticipation, Put the web dev world upside down; Model, View and Controller were in separation, Even Javascript beginners didn't frown.
Be it JavaScript, CoffeeScript or SCSS, You handled them all in a snap; Grunt helped you to transpile and compress, The only thing needed was an
ng-app
.
You were patient with faulty code, Throwing errors with the where and why; Did selectors return a wrong DOM node? Did watchers kill the CPU workload? Did a variable on
$scope
get overshadowed? Maybe the external callback needs an$apply
! Maybe$inject
lacks used params to minify! Maybe avoid$rootScope
for all events passing by!
You were either praised or attacked, Yet, you advanced and left doubters behind; Daily flame wars you fought against react, Until the day
window.angular
becameundefined
.
