This isn't accurate at all. 1) AngularJS was not built by Java developers at Google. Further, it's not clear if the original authors were Java developers. 2) JSF was built by the guy who created Struts, which he did to because he was unhappy with how Struts worked. 3) I wouldn't describe JSF as a Java/XML framework, it's intended to be a component framework.



Check the facts before your blurt it out!

1. You're wrong on the 1st point again. Misko is a Java developer and he created Angular JS - also the way Angular supports Dependency Injection, was inspired by the way it's done in Java land. https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/di

2. No one said he wasn't that guy so this point is moot.

3. You're wrong there too, If you've done any JSF programing you would know that Facelets tags/components need valid XML elements when the UI is declared. So basically there are 2 things that you need to know to use JSF - Java and XML which makes is a Java/XML based Web development framework.


1. He's right - if by 'built' you mean 'designed and created at' rather than just 'worked on'. See http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AngularJS#Development_history .


Cant comment on the rest of it, but angular's creator was definitely a Java guy before getting into JavaScript.

Jokes in there about how one of the first things he did after learning js was make a framework (super early version of angular)
