I decided to use AngularJS on a side project of mine, after considering Backbone and EmberJS. I am not a JS expert, but I am pretty sure AngularJS will be an industry standard in a few years.

I think as mobile becomes more dominant angular will have to find a way to work tighter with the closure compiler in advanced mode (or something akin) to remain relevant.

why?

I'm not sure why the OP links advance compiling specifically to mobile. It's good to have smaller, faster code on any platform that isn't quad Xeon with a fiber connection.

The Closure ecosystem has their own templates (soy) which are compiled in Advance Mode (with renaming) by the Closure Compiler. It's not possible to do that with Angular attribute's which reference JS names.

See this conversation about Angular support in Closure: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/angular/hePiqQA-MCI/uT...

you touched on several of the problems i forsee. angular parses templates client side, which is expensive IMO, smaller better optimised code with proper dead code elimination leads to a faster experience. as for mobile, i use it as the final use case, where the bad decisions which you make get amplified the most.
