angularJS vs angular 2 for new project [closed]

Question

I am preparing to build an UI for my scala application. I have some very good knowledge about Angular 1 and I know very little about Angular 2.

The question I am asking is whether I should use Angular 2 for my new application instead of Angular 1.

I googled this and read a few articles about things I already knew regarding Angular 2 vs Angular 1 but I am much more interested in the experts opinion regarding this subject. The reason I put the question here is that this subject didn't have any answer in the first two pages. My application is not big at this point and is not going to be that big.

So should I stick with Angular 1 or go for Angular 2? Why?

Answer 1

We were in the same situation for the brand new project. We decide to stick with Angular 1, because:

1. Fast forward. We have very thin deadlines. We must deliver and we have knowledge how do it with Angular 1.
2. Angular 1 is production ready. Although Angular 2 isn't a problem, but all around Angular 2 it's. ui-router is in alpha, some modules doesn't exists for Angular 2.
3. Overhead. AMD or SystemJS has huge overhead in comparison to oclazyload. We don't have knowledge out-the-box how to strip weight down with Angular 2. We don't have time to figure every aspect for Angular 2.

So, I think, if your poject plan is around 2 years or more - choose Angular 2. For fast forward stick with what you know.
