I’m writing this post from Google I/O, the annual conference where Google announces updates about all its products and services. This year, AI was everywhere and dominated most sessions, yet we received a good update from the Angular team about what to expect for Angular 20 and later this year:
First, a few confirmed items for Angular v20:
- linkedSignal becomes stable, graduating from developer preview
- Zoneless Angular will be available in developer preview
- Vitest support for unit tests as an experiment
- Angular custom track in Google Chrome performance dev tools tab for Angular-specific insights on performance
- SSR: Event replay is enabled by default
- A list of new AI resources for Angular: https://angular.dev/ai
- Angular 20’s official launch event is on May 29th at 9 am US/Pacific.
Signal Forms are a work in progress, with a first prototype branch here, but nothing’s fully working yet, so take a look only if you’re curious about what the future of Angular forms could look like.
What else about Google I/O?
If you’re curious about what was announced at Google I/O, I’d recommend this 10-minute short recap video.
Generative AI is improving super quickly, and I was able to generate this 8-second video from a single picture taken with my phone – none of the movement you see in here actually happened, it was all AI-generated using Veo 3, the latest AI engine for video generation from Google. Some of the video examples are truly impressive.
