Angular 2025 Strategy Note

Angular 2025 Strategy

The Angular team has been focused on improving developer experience and performance for the past two and a half years. Due to the rapidly evolving tech industry, the team defines a long-term vision and plans work on an annual, quarterly, and release basis, staying flexible to adapt to changing requirements. The team uses an annual developer survey to validate assumptions about developers' needs, with over 10,000 responses received in 2024. The survey results show that 79% of developers are using the latest two major versions of Angular, and 90% are using standalone components, directives, and pipes. The results also indicate an improvement in overall developer satisfaction, with close to 90% of developers reporting satisfaction with the framework. The team identified improvements such as standalone components, built-in control flow, and deferrable views as contributing to the satisfaction increase. However, component authoring format and testing remain key areas for improvement. In 2025, the team will focus on investing in key areas to help Angular developers succeed, including enhancing developer experience, enabling adoption of the latest improvements, and optimizing for performance. Notable projects for 2025 include promoting zoneless to developer preview, introducing signal-based forms, and replacing Karma with a new default test runner. The team will also evolve Angular's documentation to reflect the latest best practices and increase the visibility of features that help web developers meet their goals.
