#Angular has been the laughing stock of the tech community for years due to its so-called "stagnation." Not anymore.
The Angular team has taken the lead in one of the hottest topics in the
#JavaScript bleeding edge:
Server-Side Rendering (SSR).
Now, I’m not a fan of pushing SSR everywhere or making it the main focus of web evolution - but hey, I don’t make the rules :).
SSR is the most talked about and heavily developed topic across all JavaScript frameworks.
Love it or hate it, influencers play a major role in setting the narrative for which tools are considered relevant.
And let’s be honest: for years, Angular wasn’t even part of the conversation for most of them.
Angular developers are known for their conservative, hard-to-change views.
That’s a big reason why Angular has often been overlooked or dismissed as “dead.”
But now, for the first time since the TypeScript adoption, Angular is leading the charge with features other frameworks haven’t landed yet.
⭐ Incremental Hydration ⭐
- Missing in React: Next.js supports basic hydration, but not incremental.
- Not available in Vue or Svelte.
⭐ Route-Level Rendering Modes ⭐
- React (Next.js): Requires "magic variables" (getServerSideProps, getStaticProps); lacks declarative route-level control.
- Absent in Vue, Svelte, and Solid.js.
⭐ Event Replay in Hydration ⭐
- Angular buffers user events during hydration.
Missing in React (Next.js), Vue, Svelte, and Solid.js.

Let’s show young developers why Angular deserves to be taken seriously! :)
