Google will release a faster beta version of Angular 2 in "about two weeks" [thenewstack.io], with a smaller version targetted for April. "We're improving our ability to handle different languages," says Google's Brad Green, noting that 213 contributors are currently working on Angular. "Our plan is to have versions that will work with many server-side technologies, from Java to Python." Microsoft has already demonstrated how its building Angular into ASP.NET [youtube.com] and Google is also working with the Drupal team. But Green says they'll also continue supporting Angular 1 for at least a year, until at least a majority of users have transitioned to the new syntax. (Google says there are currently 21.3 million developers using Angular 1, versus 300,000 using Angular 2, so "We've got a ways go to.")
