The year 2010 was special for frontend developers as it marked the release of AngularJS, the brainchild of Miško Hevery, a Google employee then. This JavaScript framework not just took the community by storm but also managed to become the heartthrob of developers.

Angular, the successor of AngularJS, is evolving at a breakneck speed after the breakup i.e., the complete rewrite whereas AngularJS 1.7.x entered long term support on July 1, 2018 to cope with the pain.
For AngularJS loyals, there’s nothing to panic about as one of the Angular team members Pete Bacon Darwin has announced in his blog that “all AngularJS applications that work now, will continue to work in the future.”
Well-wishers also report that they had last seen AngularJS 1.8.2 on October 21, 2020 and now it’s stable. Dear fans, you need not worry as you will get support till December 31, 2021.
