They are working on "automatic AI testing"

why ?

lol

yes! Angular 18 will come out later this week. And they announced even better performance and bundle size reduction

As someone with 4 years of experience in angular I say yes, is worth it, RxJs is not only more complete but also is not an "angular thing", rxjs is a standalone library and can be used outside angular, even with vanilla js. So yes, it is useful to learn it.

As someone with a more clear view from the outside I say no.

If the people start to explain their reasons for their choices those answers could become useful for our friend to make a more based decision.

Depends on what you want to achieve at the moment. If your goal is just to learn the framework for fun/side projects/expand your view, RxJS can wait till quite a bit later. But if you goal is to become a professional frontend developer, or more specifically, Angular developer, yes, you should invest in learning RxJS. (They *will* come up in an Angular interview, if you need a more substantial reason. :) I'd suggest getting familiar with the essentials first, like data and event binding, routing, forms, DI, state management, etc. Then when you dive into the reactive style of programming, learn common RxJS operators and use cases and *unlearn* all the bad habits as you go. Async programming is difficult and tricky at the same time. RxJS is not the only tool but it does provide tools to let you deal with the async complexity more concisely. And observer pattern has been around for decades so there's nothing wrong learning about a tool that promotes and implements it. But yeah, depending on your capacity and primary goal, you should prioritize your learning wisely.

doesnt really sound like an Angular problem to me

They need money bro to re-write!!

How is this effecting you are these your companies?😂

@@GLawSomnia Yes, it isn't an Angular issue. I didn't word it, but you understand what I mean.

@@ivan.jeremic It would not be fun not to use the latest version. However, I understand that updates cost a lot of money.

Why?

Unfortunately, static members cannot reference class type parameters. You could have: new input().required(); But I hope we can all agree that's gross and worse than input.required();

at marketing and selling themselves, true

for hobby projects, maybe.
