Boss: We are using Angular 1 in our project, right?
Me: AngularJS, yeah, we are using it.
Boss: I heard they have AngularJS 4 now and it's faster and better.
Me: Angular, yeah that's much better.
Boss: So shouldn't we upgrade it? Can you do it this week?
Me: Erm... It's gonna take more than a week.
Boss: How much time do you need?
Me: 6 months, at least.
Boss: What if I put one more guy with you on this? How much time will it take then?
Me: Let me rephrase. It's gonna take 6 months for the entire team to upgrade all the modules in our product to Angular 4. Not including the time to train everyone on Angular and TypeScript.
Boss: Oh, Angular 1 is suddenly seemed to me a better option now.
Me: Smart move πŸ˜‰

    @purpletoxicrain It's Angular 2. Now they use semantic versioning.

    For the mortal rest of us:
    -First there was AngularJS.
    -Then came a completely new framework from the same guys. They called it Angular 2.
    -That thing now had two major version jumps in the last few months.

    @Cyanite @Huuugo They skipped Angular 3 πŸ˜‚
    Angular 4 is called 'Angular'. They even removed the numbering.
    The first version is 'AngularJS'.
    So it's just AngularJS​ and Angular now. Not confusing at all.

    You could try ngUpgrade to get AngularJS running in an Angular app. Its supposed to be used to gradually upgrade existing AngularJS architecture to Angular.

    @QCat it took a while of searching through my google history, but I found the article I had come across. Its based off early angular 2 but I don't see why it wouldnt still apply. http://blog.rangle.io/upgrade-your-...

    We're just starting to use ngUpgrade in our project now. Seems to work like a charm, though you have to be mindful of your boundaries between AngularJS and Angular.
