This is a weekly posting, covering the latest updates from the Angular community.
State of JavaScript 2021
State of JavaScript presented their results for 2021 which led to some emotional discussions, tweets, etc. State of JavaScript is a yearly survey that also asks developers about their usage of frameworks and how satisfied they are with them.
Angular grabbed second place in terms of usage, with React being unsurprisingly the unchallenged number one. In terms of satisfaction and interest, Angular finished last but one.
Even before the survey ended, some quite influential people raised their concerns about the representation of the survey sampling. For example that the proportion of React developers might be much higher than we find in the real world.
Either way, State of JavaScript is definitely worth a look. Even if it is to get a good overview about tools, libraries, techniques.
How to contribute to Angular Material
Winning developers for Angular is something that all of us can do. Especially, if we improve the framework itself by contributing code. Dmytro Mezhenskyi published a video where he shows the whole process that is required to find an issue on GitHub, fix it, make a PR and get it merged.
