When a beginner asks you "when do I use semi-colons?" would you rather say this?

// what people who say "use semicolons!!" say
class Foo {
  prop = {
  }; // yes

Angular: Just say no

A collection of articles by AngularJS veterans, sometimes even core committers, that explain in detail what's wrong with Angular 1.x, how Angular 2 isn't the future, and why you should avoid the entire thing at all costs unless you want to spend the next few years in hell.

Reason for this: I'm getting tired of having to explain to everyone, chief of which all the indiscriminate Google Kool-Aid™ drinkers, why I have never believed in Angular, why I think it'll publicly fail pretty soon now (a couple years), and why it's a dead end IMO. This gist serves as a quick target I can point people to in order not to have to parrot / compile the core of the articles below everytime. Their compounded reading pretty much captures 99% of my view on the topic.

This page is accessible through http://bit.ly/angular-just-say-no and http://bit.ly/angularjustsayno, btw.

I won't be using Angular for my next project...and neither should you. • Robe

There is a bug in PhantomJS on Mac OS X that doesn't render an HTML page as selectable text. ~~It will be fixed in PhantomJS 2.0~~, so for now you'll have to apply a patch when installing with Homebrew.

First, update homebrew formulae:

$ brew update

If you already have PhantomJS installed, then remove it:

$ brew uninstall phantomjs Next, the PhantomJS formula needs to be edited to apply a patch that fixes native text rendering in Mac OS X:

	#!/bin/sh

	transform () {
	sed 's/^describe/test/' \
	\| sed "1 i import test from 'tape'" \
	\| sed '/\sit/a t\.plan(1)' \
	\| sed 's/^\(\s*\)describe/\1t\.test/' \
	\| sed 's/\(\s*\)it(/\1t\.test(/' \
	\| sed 's/\, function[\s]*()/\, function (t)/' \
	\| sed 's/expect(/t.equal(/' \
