Reading a free book from O'Reilly (What Is React and Why It Matters[^])

book says:
React’s big breakthrough came in October 2014 at ng-europe, one of the major AngularJS conferences. In one of the sessions, a Google engineer announced that there would be a new version of AngularJS, that it would be a significant departure from the current version, that there would probably be no migration path, and that it was about a year away from being complete. Changes in direction are common for large software projects, but the announcement of a year-long purgatory left developers wondering what would happen to their current and future projects if they chose AngularJS. The AngularJS team eventually smoothed over many of the migration burdens that developers feared, but that announcement misstep helped push React from being an emerging library to a serious contender for frontend development, where it has remained ever since.


I remember when this occurred. We were learning AngularJS and just about to pull the trigger on it for a specific project when the Angular team kind of pulled the rug out from everyone.

It is interesting that React owes its _success_ to the _failure_ of AngularJS backwards compatibility.
