As mentioned... it's Angular "1" and it's planned for July 2021 when LTS ends.

Thanks for clearing that up!

This feels like it probably doesn't belong on this site. We don't say Google "killed" Android (Nougat), it's just an old EOL version. I've not used Angular, so maybe there are some salient differences I'm not appreciating.

The differences between AngularJS and Angular are roughly at the same level as the differences between Angular and React or Angular and jQuery.

Even so, it's not exactly comparable to killing a service. If you really want to continue using Angular 1, you can. You can even fork it and keep it up to date yourself. That's completely different from abandoning a proprietary service.

Lots of people don't like Angular-non-js, since it makes a lot of breaking changes and, among other things, switches to Typescript. AngularJS going EOL is effectively equal to it dying.
