OK thanks, no I have not seen that.

What is left for Angular to do? Really would like to know the answer to that.

If they are serious about helping move the web forward, they will just change the Angular logo to the Polymer logo and start pushing to make that work. And stop saying things like browsers aren't ready.

Polymer works in new versions of Firefox, Chrome and IE. We don't need a new version of Angular.

If someone thinks we need to keep using Angular, give me a reason. That presentation on Google Docs that is linked in the parent just shows reasons for Angular to go away.

they aren't ready. the standards aren't even ready for polymer to polyfill for the browsers to implement.

you need to be patient. open platforms are a very long term play.

i saw they reviewed a few of the polyfills for 2.0 inclusion, and there wasn't a lot that was really capable of being used yet, for a variety of reason.

I believe open platforms will win eventually, but it's not going to be tomorrow. it will be maybe 5-10 years from now. Just be glad there's movement.

10 years from now, we may not even be relevant as a species. I'm not kidding. Its unlikely it will happen that soon, but I actually believe that we will have super-intelligent AI within 4 decades at the latest. I think it is entirely within the realm of possibility for that to happen within 10 or 15 years.

I am looking at next year or maybe the year after that to see a massive surge in popularity and use of Polymer.

Polymer is also currently over 500 KB total. We are still a while away from Polymer being ready. It has been in alpha for almost a year now.
