| > Do you trust the professional opinion of someone who would complain about this? And loudly, at that? Do you think this person is representative of a majority of front-end engineers? No. Whatever community they are representative of, I don't want to be a part of, and I think their attitude certainly deserves ridicule, which I provided. > Google is a for-profit company. So is Oracle, Monsanto and others. Yet somehow Google has managed to release and support a lot more community projects. Google Summer of code. The same Angular JS project that people are supposedly following so closely was also built on Google's dime. Of course they are for profit and water is wet, is there a point in saying that even. At no point did they say they will close source Angular or enforce trademarks on it. People use, love it, code is available for forking yet they still bring accusations and hate that is above and beyond what as reasonable. > Perhaps the confusion is my fault and not your own. But if you could elaborate a bit, that might help. Well, read the set of posts again from the beginning. The initial comment asked, how come this is in the news, this is quite old. And my response is because it probably relates to the previous post about Dart and Angular JS discussion. This was meant to somehow expose a deep seated conspiracy inside Google to prove some of those accusation right. In summary I was explaining why this is popular again when it was supposedly old news. Hopefully this makes it easier to understand. |
