15. @mgechev So, Angular is now more dynamic!
16. @mgechev …but not too dynamic
17. @mgechev • Do something • Collect feedback • Adjust direction “Gradient descent” optimization

25. @mgechev Faster builds • We do less work • No longer generate factories • ngcc does this once* • No longer using metadata.json • Incremental AoT builds

30. @mgechev Smaller bundles • Less generated code • Smaller framework
31. @mgechev Smaller framework • Tree-shakable instructions • No need for ngfactory machinery
32. @mgechev Improved i18n
33. Angular compile-time i18n (v2-v8) src lib Link & optimize ngc ngc l10n l10n l10n l10n
34. Angular compile-time i18n (v2-v8) src lib Link & optimize ngc ngc l10n l10n repeat
35. @mgechev Focused on static optimizations • Generate app at compile-time: • No runtime binding overhead • Smaller bundles: • Localizations are hard to tree-shake • No need for binding instructions
36. Angular compile-time i18n (Ivy) src lib Link & optimize l10n repeat ngc
37. @mgechev Angular Universal
38. @mgechev Challenges with Universal • Change-refresh time • Deployment
