When you call your framework Angular.js, and then rename it to Angular, you can be sure, that some people will be confused.

Angular had some hard path lately with the news that Angular.js is deprecated and dead. People understandably believed it, but Angular is actually far from being dead.

The fourteenth version of the most framework-ish framework scores some major improvements. But today we will focus on the version fifteen that’s just around the corner. It is planned to be released just in a month, on 8th November 2022.

Ivy landmark: makes Angular ultra-fast

If you are not familiar with the Angular saga, while it is the best framework to focus on user experience, for years it suffered from bad build performance compared to lightweight libraries like React. An astonishing effort to get back on tracks revolved around almost completely rebuilding the rendering engine. The new one, called Ivy was a project for years. Along the way Angular had to had been stripped from Hot Module Reload.

Fortunately Ivy made it through and the latest versions of Angular offer comfortable builds and rebuilds. Hot Module Reload is also easier to enable. Since that said, Angular 15 will mark a point of no return. Ivy will become one and only rendering engine giving exceptional experience to the developers.
