| Heh, this seems like a case of different people having completely opposite experiences. Had to work on an Angular project or two, they were largely passable and didn't cause too many problems. Admittedly felt a bit close to writing back end code at times, even - pretty boring and predictable. In Angular the type system was also reasonably easy to use, even with things like non-nullable/nullable/optional values etc. Had to work on a few React projects, the JavaScript ones were pleasant to work with and develop (seriously, React's functional components are an amazing time saver for display components), but as soon as you introduced TypeScript and Redux as well as plenty of hooks and even custom hooks, it went down the drain. Perhaps that's a bit what you're experiencing with RxJS, which adds a ton of complexity in of itself - being able to start with just Angular and go from there (or in my case - using MobX instead of Redux which is just so much nicer to use) might have been more passable. Actually made a sibling comment like this, though it's not as detailed as i'd like: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30220131 But hey, good luck with bending Angular to your will! If nothing else, i can acknowledge many codebases out there being a mess! |
