Aurelia Project
- Rob Eisenberg
- Built Durandal
- Worked on Angular January-November 2014
- Started Aurelia because he disagreed with the direction of Angular 2 (http://eisenbergeffect.bluespire.com/leaving-angular/)
- No Corporate/Financial support
- Work Began in December 2014
- Current Version: 0.13.2
- Github usage statistics
But . . . why?
- An MVC Framework . . . with conventions
- Very simple & explicit one/two way bindings
- Core features (Dependency Injection, ) are modular
- Not a opinionated (the Angular way)
- gets out of the way
- Contributors all have day jobs as app builders -- no one is an explicit 'framework builder'
- Rob Eisenberg references Angular's need for tooling in podcast (http://herdingcode.com/herding-code-203-rob-eisenberg-on-aurelia/)
- Comparison: http://blog.durandal.io/2015/03/16/aurelia-and-angular-2-code-side-by-side/
