Angular 18 just got released and it was eagerly awaited. The angular team announced few months ago that this version should be a renew of the framework and we can indeed see that lots of new features were added, like signals. Good for us, there is no breaking change, so adoption could go smoothly.

Angular just announced at the NG conference that the framework is merging with Wiz (Google's internal framework). Many efforts are also focused on AI (chatbot in the documentation, CLI capable of generating complete components..).
