> If you work at Google: Angular

Doesn't Google actually prefer Polymer?

I don't think Google prefer either, YouTube was recently migrated to Polymer, They use Angular(Dart) from Adwords. almost all other projects use vanilla JavaScript(with closure compiler)

As far as i understand, Polymer (and Web Components, in general) permits to define custom HTML elements.

What kind of custom elements are in the (insanely unreadable) Youtube main page?

[Vinnl]

The Polymer philosophy appears to be more of "make everything a custom element", i.e. up to the entire app (e.g. "<youtube-app/>", "<comments-section video-id=''/>", "<related-videos video-id=''/>", etc.).

Did YouTube switch to Polymer yet? I think only the new design (https://www.youtube.com/new) uses it, and it's not yet switched on by default?

Google do staged rollouts, I got the new YouTube design last week

Google is actually using Angular extensively on their in-house tools.
