Ugh. Thanks for the kind words :)
This just confirms the sentiment shared in the article by Jeff Cross in March. It's very, very disconcerting. Especially for people who've been working with Angular(JS) for years, like me. A fish rots from the head.
At a certain point, if Google can't get its leadership together, the community should probably just do a fork

there are two articles mentiond in the thread, which are worth reading.

jeff also mentions rob eisenbergs earlier departure

which i find interesting because one of the reasons i like aurelia is because rob tried to work with angular before going his own way.

Based on my experience at Google and having worked extensively with front end technologies there I am not surprised that someone as talented as Rob was forced to quit. The Angular project and how it relates to other front end technologies within Google is unbelievably political and it almost seems as though the Angular team takes pleasure in suppressing superior technologies and solutions.
An example of this is that the Angular team also owns support for Typescript within Google (not organizationally, but it's the same people). They turned off support for .tsx despite many protests from many, many different teams within Google and the motive was very clearly to dissuade the use of React.
