Wiz is a web framework at google that is abysmal to work with. It’s still living in 2010, it’s all Java backend based, the build times are unbearable, and the templating, Soy, is some Java engineer who loves curly braces too much.
It’s a lot of magic and all convoluted, it’s pathetic a company this large has this as their main offering, JSX is a positive move but it’s still lipstick on a pig as it’s not really JSX but just three Java templates under the hood for now. Signals aren’t the panacea they keep saying as they simply don’t scale in big apps since the data flow is all over the place.
Googlers use Angular at google because despite its garbage size and developer experience, believe it or not, the dev experience is miles better than Wiz. It’s also nowhere near the most popular internal usage framework idk why they say that. It’s Wiz by far.
And all this is because googlers just want React or Vue but are not allowed because they are “not sanctioned”. The same reason why you can’t SSR Angular at google, because Node isn’t even sanctioned. This is all just a Hail Mary by Angular because their NPM numbers are dropping and just got surpassed by Preact of all frameworks.
My job skills are languishing at google because I’m writing Wiz and Angular all day
