• Toolbox for building dynamic Web apps
  • Quick
  • Expressive
  • Readable *
  • Scaleable *

* Subjective to how you build it, it's not a feature :/

• Templating with two-way data-binding
• Extending HTML through directives
• Constructs for writing modular code
• Native implementation of XHR and Promises
• Testability of code
