The Angular talk at I/O provided an overview of the latest features and what to expect in the upcoming versions. The Angular team's representatives were Jessica Janiuk, Jeremy Elbourn, and Minko Gechev. They focused on improvements in hydration and zonelessness.

Jeremy also mentioned the authoring format and selector components. "Selectorless" means a component's selector and the required import in a parent component disappear. This will be another upcoming feature that will reduce boilerplate.

Interestingly, though, Jeremy mentioned the Analog format, which has caused quite some heavy debates in the past

Jeremy said that they have similar views in terms of identifying the problems and solutions when it comes to the authoring format.
